how to use libcpp (GCC c lexer)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all.

Is anybody familiar with the GCC lexer, locate at libcpp/lex.c in the
GCC source tree?
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/libcpp/
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cppinternals/Lexer.html#Lexer

I'd like to do lexical analysis on some C source code for educational purposes,
but I am having troubles in finding entry points to the libcpp library.

As I read at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cppinternals/Lexer.html#Lexer ,
cpp_get_token() should be the main API call, defined at libcpp/macro.c ,
but I can't locate client code in GCC sources (which is, where the
lexer is called),
nor testcases that could illustrate me, for instance,
how to cook the input to get it into a cpp_reader struct
(the type required for cpp_get_token()'s input).

So: what's the entry point to libcpp? Where do I find examples of calls, if any?

Cheers,
Giovanni

PS: please CC your reply to me, since I am not a subscriber of gcc-help.
