[cdt-core-dev] Prototype AST2 available in cdt_ast2

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey gang,

I've taken a quick stab at a prototype
implementation of the new AST. This work, of course, is being done on the
cdt_ast2 branch. I have created a new JUnit test class AST2Tests in core.tests.
The AST interface and factory class are in org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.ast2
in the parser folder. The AST implementation, including a source element
requestor to reuse our parser to create the AST, are in org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.parser.ast2.

So far, I am just parsing "int
x;", but it lets me get a feel for the architecture and applicability
of the AST.

Any feedback is appreciated, knowing
of course this is a pretty rough run at it. Discussion of this feature
is being done at: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=57816.
