I am working on a perl script that prints out the entire function onto std out given the source file name and function name. using a regex might not be feasible as i have multiline function prototypes. any suggestion on whether there are c parser perl modules which might be helpful here. logic on how can i handle nesting {}. help me out

  • I'll just leave a link to the [Clang module](http://search.cpan.org/~alexbio/Clang-0.06/lib/Clang.pm) on CPAN here. – Wintermute Dec 12 '14 at 09:02
  • Why not just use Cscope? – Slade Dec 13 '14 at 18:08

MarpaX::Languages::C::AST, powered by Marpa general BNF parser, parses a C file and gives you an AST with callbacks using which you can extract the function body/definition.
