hi guys, i'm currently planning to do some refactoring with this plugin (to make it more modular) and first have some questions:
- does the parser provide complete abstract syntax tree?
- what standards of c does it cover?
- what is the problem with templates?
i'll be happy for whatever info you can give me, thanks in advance!

...and probably here:

There is an initial CLang plugin (in the forums and also, there is an ongoing help request to wrap the CC plugin of CodeLite into C::B's plugin framework. Eran (eranif) himself proposed that initially and there is some work done already. Please try to avoid re-inventing the wheel... ;-)

That's great!
- does the parser provide complete abstract syntax tree?
No, the parser is quite lightweight compared to the parser in GCC/Clang. No AST is used here.
- what standards of c does it cover?
As I said before, the parser does not do a semantic analysis.
- what is the problem with templates?
The parser does not handle template correctly, as the c++ template grammar is too complex.
