Title: Use the Source
Proposer: dietmar_kuehl
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 minutes
Description:
Using C or C++ source for any user created tool used to be near impossible due to the complexity of the languages, especially for C++. The open source compiler clang <http://clang.llvm.org/> provides access to its internal data structures exposing all details of the source via a library interface. This library provides a basis for various tools like code-completion hints, static analysis, code transformations, etc. This presentation gives an introduction to create your own tool using C++ source.
Note:
I'm presenting this on 2012-11-26 in London but I think it is an interesting topic suitable for the conference, as well. The presentation at the conference would be updated and extended.
