• In GCC, the “location” of a class declaration is recorded as the position of the opening brace. In pork, the position is the location of the class or struct keyword:

  •class A
    : public B
    , public C
  •{

• Texas A&M offers a Masters degree in Mathematics entirely online.
• Copying dmandelin’s treehydra scripts makes it much easier to figure out how to write my own analyses.
• Lazily creating a deeply nested JS representation of C++ type tree improved the performance of my XPCOMGC finalizer analysis script by 1000% or more, and made the code more readable.

No.

GCC Dehydra allows us to do analysis passes on our existing code. In the far future it may also allow us to do optimization passes. But it does not have the ability to do code rewriting, and probably won’t gain that ability any time soon. In order to be able to do C++->C++ transformations, you have to have correct end positions for all statements/tokens, not just beginning positions. GCC does not track this information, and making it do so would be a massive undertaking.

Mozilla2 still lives in a dual world where automatic code refactoring is done using the elsa/oink toolchain, while static analysis is taking place using the GCC toolchain.
