Python C and C++ parsing abstraction layer

[KOLANICH]

Project description

There are multiple libs for parsing C and C++ in python, :

• clang bindings - the best one, but very large, since requires clang
• https://github.com/CastXML/pygccxml + https://github.com/CastXML/CastXML
• https://github.com/srcML/srcML - a yet another standalone tool (without a dedicated python lib consuming its output)
• https://github.com/eliben/pycparser
• https://github.com/myint/cppclean
• https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-cppheaderparser

In other words, BeautifulSoup for C++ AST.
