Parsing snippet of C (macro definitions) [message #917536]

Thu, 20 September 2012 03:12

Eclipse User

Hi,
I would like to parse the definition of macros to try to understand what they contain and categorize them. For example:

#define A 123
#define B "hello"

would be categorized as constant while

#define C 23*A

would be an expression, and so on.

I have learned ho to use CDT to parse entire files and I was wondering if it possible to use the same API to parse just a snippet of C code, so to recognize that 123 is an integer literal. Maybe I could trick the API surrounding the expression with a dummy function and assigning the value to a variable but I would try to avoid that. Any suggestion?
