C/C++ support

Open GabrielRavier opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Though probably very difficult considering the mess that would be needed to do things like even trying to detect dependencies, support for C and C++ would be really nice. I merged the requests for C and C++ because having support for C++ would imply C support, and having C support would be just a step away from also having C++ support (that is, it would be pretty weird to have C support but not C++ support). I'd suggest using something like a LLVM/clang-based parser

C is hard. C++ is unthinkably hard. But we’re hearing a lot of this, so let’s track the requests here.

Undefined behaviour, the CPP, and staged programming are all challenges, to be sure.

     Would C-family language support also cover Objective-C and Objective-C++, or would that be handled separately?

@RandomDSdevel Probably not entirely separately, since we’d need C support to get Objective-C support. But I suspect we’d want to get C/C++ squared away first.

I’d be amenable to a new issue to track Objective-C support, if that’s what you’re thinking.
