I have a huge C file (~100k lines) which I need to be able to parse. Mainly I need to be able to get details about individual fields of every structure (like field name and type for every field in the structure) from its definition. Is there a good(open source, which i can use in my code) way to do this already? Or should I write my own parser for this. If I have to write my own, can anyone suggest a good place to start? I have never worked with python before.
Thanks
Take a look at this link for an extensive list of parsing tools available for Python. Specifically, for parsing c code, try the pycparser
