CGrep – context-aware grep for C and C++ source files

CGrep is a context-aware grep for source codes.

It’s implemented using Clang’s libtooling libraries.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Basically Clang regexing it’s way through your C-family source-code. You have all the context you can ever need.
  • Can output whether to print the declaration of a match even if the match itself is not a declaration along with the matched result.
  • Can output matches in a script-friendly format which could be used in turn by a secondary script.
