Wanted: C AST generator

[David Given]

Many years ago I found an open source library that would read in a C
file, parse it, do type analysis and program validation, and hand the
caller a neatly constructed AST annotated with all the type information
needed to form the front end of a compiler.

I suddenly found myself wanting this again, and now, of course, I can no
longer find it, or even remember what it was called. Does this seem at
all familiar to anyone, and if so, does anyone know where I might be
able to find it? (Or something similar...)

Maybe this can help:

Yes, I do know how do use Google, thanks.

Anyway, during the night I did suddenly remember what the library was
called that I used to use --- ctree, now called ctool. Unfortunately it
now seems to be in C++, but I still think I can use it.
