Another promising but incomplete entry, last time I looked (it still
couldn't represent the full C++ language in its XML). The mailing list
archives indicate that's still the case, though things may be changing:

Even the EDG parser has bugs. However, if your code compiles with GCC 3.0,
gccxml should be able to handle it (note that GCC is up to 3.0.3 and 3.1
will be released soon, so things have improved further since gccxml was
developed).
