# cgrep
`grep` for C/C++ source files.<br/>
cgrep uses libtooling, the latest tested version of LLVM is trunk 340121.<br/>
Should be more or less fine for other C-family languages as well but I haven't tested for those since I don't use those. Let me know if you run into trouble using cgrep on those.<br/>

## Bulding
Assuming you have the llvm/clang libraries(the build file will read your llvm options using `llvm-config` so make sure it's in path), just run:<br/>
```bash
git clone https://github.com/bloodstalker/cgrep
git submodule init
git submodule update
make
```
## Usage
A simple usage example:<br/>
```bash
cgrep --func --var --regex n[aA]m ./cgrep.cpp
```
Pleade do note that the regex will pass through both C++ and the regex engine, so if you would want to escape `\`, the regex you pass as the commandline arg would be `\\\\` instead of the normal `\\`.<br/>

## Options
Here's an option list though it might not be necessarily up-to-date.<br/>
For an up-to-date list, you can run `crep --help`.<br/>

```bash
  -all                       - turns on all switches other than nameddecl
  -awk                       - outputs location in a gawk freidnly format
  -class                     - match class declrations only
  -dir=<string>              - recursively goes through all the files and directories. assumes compilation databases are present for all source files.
  -func                      - match functions only
  -header                    - match headers in header inclusions
  -macro                     - match macro definitions
  -mainfile                  - mathc identifiers in the main file only
  -memfunc                   - match member functions only
  -memvar                    - match member variables only
  -nameddecl                 - matches all named declrations
  -regex=<string>            - the regex to match against
  -struct                    - match structures only
  -syshdr                    - match identifiers in system header as well
  -union                     - match unions only
  -var                       - map variables only

```
`cgrep` is a clang tool, so it will accecpt all valid clang commandline options.<br/>
