Parsing c++ code

[humpty]

hi
I am looking for a simple C++ parser.
the parser that only can give me little information about C++ code.
Like.
Function name, returns, hasparameters, modifier.
similarly for classes
class name, has public,private, protected functions,
has bublic,private and protected functiions

and thats it, is there any simple parser that can do that and i dont
have to look deep into it
thank you

Try doxygen. It works well, even if the code contains no doxygen comment.

A configurable C++ parser-only would be a nice thing. For example, one
could use it to "grep" for old-style casts, something that cannot be
done with regular expressions. Other uses come to mind as well.

You can't do that with a "simple" C++ parser. You need
a full C++ parser so the very details you want to find
are captured correctly.

Depends on the relative term "simple", doesn't it?

True, but this is still much simpler than a full compiler with various
intermediate representations for optimization etc. and one or more
backends for various targets.

I would like an open souce alternative.
