Well, to use a general term, I want to comprehend LLVM and GCC for various reasons. LLVM has been C++ from the beginning, and GCC is being rewritten in C++, though maybe with enough of a C flavor to be amenable to Coccinelle.

Julia was underwhelmed, but I?m still looking for a use for Coccinelle just in case. See my response to her response.
