pygccxml

castxml (https://github.com/CastXML/CastXML) may be what you want. It uses the Clang front-end to output an XML representation of a C or C++ parse tree. It is then possible to turn this into what you want. I've used it and seen it used to generate code to do endianess conversion of structures from headers, or RPC code generation for example. It can be used from Python through pygccxml (https://github.com/CastXML/pygccxml). The name comes from a previous instance, gccxml, based on the GCC front-end. Both castxml and pygccxml are packaged in Debian and Ubuntu.

Hello, I work on a 6500+ file, 1-2 million line, 30 year old code base in C++. There are many problems with it, and we've been gradually ratcheting up the use of tools to improve code quality (creating automated testing tools, pr validation pipelines, etc.; I recently went through our biggest projects and set them to level 3 treat warnings as errors; there were a lot). But I had a thought the other day to use Python to try to const everything that could be constified in our code base. The general idea was, write some code to const all basic types at declaration, then, again, using Python, try to incrementally build the project with MSVC/MSBuild, parsing the output, deconsting anything that was fails, and hopefully end up with relatively few hard to solve errors in this fashion. I imagine this is going to be bigger than I expect, and I alr
