     6  """Python GCC-XML front end.
     7
     8  This package provides functionality to extract and inspect
     9  declarations from C/C++ header files. This is accomplished
    10  by invoking the external tool U{gccxml<http://www.gccxml.org/>}
    11  which parses a header file and dumps the declarations as a
    12  XML file. This XML file is then read by pygccxml and the contents
    13  are made available as appropriate Python objects.
    14
    15  To parse a set of C/C++ header files you use the
    16  L{parse()<parser.parse>} function in the L{parser} sub package which
    17  returns a tree that contains all declarations found in the header
    18  files. The root of the tree represents the main namespace C{::} and
    19  the children nodes represent the namespace contents such as other
    20  namespaces, classes, functions, etc. Each node in the tree is an
    21  object of a type derived from the
    22  L{declaration_t<declarations.declaration_t>} base class. An inner
    23  node is always either a namespace (L{namespace_t<declarations.namespace_t>})
    24  or a class (L{class_t<declarations.class_t>}) which are both derived
    25  from L{scopedef_t<declarations.scopedef_t>}. Everything else (free functions,
    26  member functions, enumerations, variables, etc.) is always a leaf.
    27  You will find all those declaration classes in the L{declarations}
    28  sub-package.
