[pygccxml-development] declarations string, stability

[Gustavo C. <gjc...@gm...>]

  Hi Roman and all,

  Suppose I wanted to:

     1- Scan header files once;
     2- Store the definitions found in my own XML format, including for each
definition a string that uniquely identifies it;
     3- Later, I run the same program that scans a new set of definitions
     4- At this point the program should be able to detect: a) newly added
definitions, b) changed definitions (only changed parameter names), c)
removed definitions;

For step 4 I need to get a definitions identifier that is stable across
current and future (py)gccxml versions.  Is decl_string the identifier I
want?

Thanks in advance.
