How to migrate the AST parsing to clang?

[Etienne Robillard]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Clang Python bindings in CFFI in order to support
#include and #define directives, as described here:
https://bitbucket.org/cffi/cffi/issues/5/cdef-to-support-define-and-include

I installed Clang 3.8 and the python-clang package for Python 2.7. Do I
need to recompile CFFI as well?

My goal is to let CFFI support parsing a preprocessed C header file by
using the ffi.cdef() function.

Any ideas how to accomplish this?

How can I rewrite the pycparser module in CFFI to support clang
preprocessing natively?

I just want to generate a AST from a C header with clang and use
ffi.dlopen to make python bindings from a shared lib.

Thank you,

Etienne
