Parse C/C++ source code?

[Leff Ivanov]

Hello! I want to build custom refactoring tool for C/C++ source code and I want to do it in Go. Is there any good library in Go that would parse C/C++ source code into AST (abstract syntax tree) or some other high level structure that I can read and manipulate? Is there any good and up to date bindings to libclang or some other library for parsing C/C++ code? Is there any generic parsing library that has a C/C++ grammar support in it?

https://github.com/go-clang However, I must admit that some things are still under development and it might be better to use the legacy https://github.com/sbinet/go-clang until we have time to fix them.
(I just got back to the open source world so you can expect lots of changes to https://github.com/go-clang in the coming weeks.)

C only, but anyway, you might want to have a look at https://godoc.org/github.com/cznic/cc.

Hi Leff. Did you find anything good eventually? 

The cznic/cc code offers a decent compiler but I found it very bad to read and reuse. I don't want to rely on guess work and the documentation is almost non-existant.
