I love the researchers/C++ combination, always full of surprises :) I mostly meant that something reusable should not be based on this code at all - neither the implementation nor the idea of reusing gccxml makes much sense for something meant to be used in the long term. Gccxml is not that great, because it is not really maintained, a PITA to build, and you cannot force C mode (which was the biggest issue in my case, and I guess an issue for many cython users). > > thanks for the link. > llvm/clang was on my radar (I played a bit w/ llvm-py) but this > tutorial will most definitely help ! Yes, unfortunately, there is no python API, and llvm is not as mature as I had hoped (the API has significantly changed since this tutorial, for example). OTOH, for C++, llvm code is relatively readable, and there are also an ocaml interface and a haskell one (http://augustss.blogspot.com/) - maybe a good excuse to learn haskell. It took me half a day to be able to implement a basic pre-processor in C++ with llvm, so anyone more familiar with C++ (and parsing techniques) should be able to implement something useful in a short amount of time, cheers, David _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
