# Clang(3pm)

Perl bindings to the Clang compiler's indexing interface

## NAME

Clang - Perl bindings to the Clang compiler's indexing interface

## VERSION

version 0.09

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Clang;
    my $index = Clang::Index -> new(1);
    my $tunit = $index -> parse('file.c');
    my $nodes = $tunit -> cursor -> children;
    foreach my $node (@$nodes) {
        say $node -> spelling;
        say $node -> kind -> spelling;
    }
```

## DESCRIPTION

Clang is a compiler front end for the C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ programming languages which uses LLVM as its back end.

This module provides Perl bindings to the Clang indexing interface, used for extracting high-level symbol information from source files without exposing the full Clang C++ API.
