[GCC-XML]gcc2xml and macros

[Sebastien.deMentendeHorne at electrabel.com]

Hi all,
 
I found the project after looking for exactly what it is : an easy way to
dig in the code in a programmatic way.
 
I have some questions at first sight (it is still compiling) : 
 - What is the link with  <http://introspector.sourceforge.net/>
http://introspector.sourceforge.net/, if any ?
 - is there a xml -> gcc frontend already built ?
 - is it possible to introduce some "new macros" contructions in C/C++ that
gccxml will leave untouched and that could be interpreted on an XML
processor ?
 
In fact, I would like to replace those difficult templates with a nicer
notation that will be processed in an XML processor.
The general flow of the compilation process for the C/C++ newly macroified
would be:
    C/C++ source with new macros 
        \--(gccxml)--> XML code with macros
            \--(xml processor)--> XML code with macros processed 
                \--(? xml2gcc ?)--> real code
 
As XML is real close to Lisp/Scheme way of thinking (list processing) and
that Lisp/Scheme macros are much more powerwul (expresive), I think this
approach can be interesting.
 
Any feedback is welcome !
