C++ Function Signature string Parser

Any knows of a Function Signature string Parser?


typically one that can parse string:
"unsigned int const * __cdecl MyFunction(int,void const *)"

into:
0 : 'unsigned int const *'
1 : '__cdecl'
2 : 'MyFunction'
3 : 'int'
4 : 'void const *'

If such tool exists it is compiler dependent.

For VC++ you may try Win32 API function UnDecorateSymbolName().

You essentially have to parse the entire C++ language to do this.
(Consider a function signature involving a template defined in terms of
typedefs using macros ....)

The DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit has a full C++ parser
that can be used to extract function signatures.

Hi,
You could also use ANTLR, I think a pretty good C++
grammar exists for antlr.

To understand a function signature in detail, you need type information.
I don't beleive that the ANTLR implementation provides any of this.
DMS provides complete type information.

Hi,
what i'm trying to build is some sort of storage of the involved
'types' ; as to the types in the function signature string.
