    Subject: How to get list of function declarations and definitions in lang C, C++ and D?

    Hello!

    I want to get list of function declarations and definitions in lang C,
    C++ and D. I need:

    file, function name, type (declaration or definition), start line
    number, and end line number

    How can I get this?
    NOTE: Reg exps are not an option because there is impossible to know
    where function starts because it can be preceded by macros (for eg.
    macro declared Qt namespace).

    I this info for statical analysis before each commit - to check if my
    code follow my coding rules. Already I have some static analysis, but I
    want expand it.
