GCC::TranslationUnit - Parse the output of gcc -fdump-translation-unit

  use GCC::TranslationUnit;

  # echo '#include <stdio.h>' > stdio.c
  # gcc -fdump-translation-unit -c stdio.c
  $node = GCC::TranslationUnit::Parser->parsefile('stdio.c.tu')->root;

  # list every function/variable name
  while($node) {
    if($node->isa('GCC::Node::function_decl') or
       $node->isa('GCC::Node::var_decl')) {
      printf "%s declared in %s\n",
        $node->name->identifier, $node->source;
    }
  } continue {
    $node = $node->chain;
  }

Provides a module for reading in the -fdump-translation-unit file from GCC and access methods for the data available from within GCC.

Once you read in the file using the Parser, you can traverse the entire structure of the parse tree using methods defined in the GCC::Node::* modules. Look there for information. Each node is blessed into a GCC::Node::* class with that name.

See the source for the GCC::Node modules, and the source to GCC itself
