Integrate AST exporter JSON plugin in the official clang repository? about facebook-clang-plugins HOT 5 OPEN

Not saying you shouldn't use this plugin (we use it in production and it works well), but have you looked at clangml? https://gitlab.inria.fr/tmartine/clangml

from facebook-clang-plugins.

The AST Exporter is only used by Infer, and so this entire repo has been merged into the infer repo: https://github.com/facebook/infer/ and development continues there. We are planning on archiving this repo in the near future.

Because the AST Exporter is only used for infer, I don't think it would have high chances of getting into the clang repositories, but I could be wrong about that. Do you have another use for this plugin?

Yes I would love to leverage the clang AST from OCaml in semgrep: https://semgrep.dev/

More generally any OCaml programmer who would like to to stuff on c++ would benefit from an easy-to-install OPAM library that can leverage clang C++ ASTs. Just like what CIL did for C 20 years ago

Oh no I didn't know about clangml! Thx! I'll have a look.
