parsing C functions.

[onkar]

I am writing a script to parse C file containing functions. for each function , I have to add logs at 2 places : (1) when the func is entered (2) when func is exiting. I tried it , it even worked with a fairly complex regex , but it sometimes adds logs in struct,if,else,while blocks. Does anyone have any idea as to such thing already existing in Perl ?

Ideas C++ header parser, ANSI C Parser in Perl?, need regex to parse c++ functions, ExtUtils::XSBuilder::ParseSource, C::Analyzer, C::Scan, Text::CPP

Modifying the source code looks pretty dangerous to me. Most likely you should use a profiler instead, it should be able to do the logging. It would be best though to ask elsewhere. This is a site about Perl, not C.
