Package: GCC XML Node Introspector
System name: introspector
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

The GCC XML Tree Node Introspector project consists of a patch to the gcc 
compiler to output the internal compiler tree nodes into XML, and programs to 
process that xml.



The tree nodes are complex  data structures represent the source code

inside of the compiler. 

Via these tree nodes users are able to extract information from thier programs 
that would be otherwise very difficult to do. 

Modules exist to store these nodes in XML or in a Postgres SQL database.

The long term goal of the project is create a high-level API into source code 
to allow the programmatic manipulation of programs easier than it is

now.



Currently the project is hosted on 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/introspector/
