There are two components:

1.) A patched GCC 3.3 parser.  This is in the GCC directory.  The xml
dump code itself is in GCC/gcc/cp/xml.c, and this is where you should
begin to add features.

2.) A front-end to compute the flags for the parser needed to simulate
the preprocessor of the target compiler.  This is in the GCC_XML directory.

If you search the list archives you will find mention of other users
that have implemented function body dumping already.
