Re: [Bashdb-devel] introduction (James Michael DuPont)

[James M. D. <mdu...@ya...>]

ok, let me put this in another way :
Is there a way to pull out all of the knowledge that you have about a
give bash routine into a file? or at least an interator function that
visits each node uniquly?

I would like to have a routine that visits all the internal COMMAND and
WORD objects, so that I can use that as input into the introspector.

The thing is that, I need to see :
1. what file a node (COMMAND,WORD) comes from.
2. what type it is (unary expr, function call, function decl)
3. what line number/column it came from

I use the redland rdf lib for storing this information, and to be able
to gather all of that out of a ./configure file would be very usefull.

Also, we need to figure out the sources before they are interpolated
and afterwards.

Happy new year,
mike
