Parsing IDL Files and C/C++ Headers

Carl-Joseph has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Are there any modules that make it easy to parse IDL files and C/C++ header files?

I want to be able to "aim" the module at an IDL/header file, and be able to extract functions, structures, parameters, members, etc.

Thanks,

Carl-Joseph

Regarding IDL files: I think, but I'm not entirely sure, that the COPE module has this ability. You might be able to pull out the IDL stuff and work with it separately. Good luck. Chris M-x auto-bs-mode	[reply]

You may want to check out Corba::ORBit as well. That may help a bit with IDL files. Good luck.	[reply]
