Hi
I'm responsible for porting the gui part of an analysis tool from eclipse to VS. Now I wonder if there exist an AST parser as competent as the one eclipse/cdt [1] supply or do we have to build a fast version of our own AST builder or maybe even use eclipse's?
As I understand there have been some work over at MS as Jason Lucas mentions in his msdn blog [2] from 2006 about exposing access to MS AST but what is the status in the matter is it included in VS2010 beta? What are other plug-ins like visual assist using (I suppose their own)?
