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.
