You will need a C parser.
People actually make money creating parsers because they are very hard to create.

Do some research on how to make a symbol table. That will be your database as you scan the various C source files.

I assume this is a class assignment since most IDE tools have a view that does this.

Which language is efficient and easy to create cparser?
Currently I am working on cparser developed using perl, the parser link is given below,
http://search.cpan.org/src/DCONWAY/Parse-RecDescent-v1.95.1/demo/demo_another_Cg rammar.pl

This parser is too much slow for big C files.

So let me know any useful ideas using which I can start working on c parser.


Thanks.
