Hi all,
If I want to extract all the function names in a C file programatically then
what would be the best approach for that ?

Use a parser-generating tool like ANTLR (www.antlr.org) to build a parser
for the C language grammar and have that parser dump the name of each
function that it encounters.

Use a parser-generating tool like ANTLR (www.antlr.org) to build a
parser for the C language grammar and have that parser dump the name
of each function that it encounters.

Or use a pre-existing parser like doxygen (www.doxygen.org) and configure it
to produce XML.
