i need to write a program that determines dependencies between c++ source files. Besides parsing and scanning for "#includes" and "::'s" what else would do? I need to parse and find ALL calling dependencies (ie. function calls). How would yo go about it to try to encompass all of them (if possible)?
btw, I am most definitely not asking anyone to write code for me. I would like to hear your approaches and sugestions regarding such a problem. What patterns should I look for? Thank you.
Well, you probably need to also look for methods, classes, variables and so on. In such case you'd need to parse the whole C++ source files to find all references to them.
