[fpc-devel] Dumping the syntax tree

[Michael Van Canneyt]

You had better use the fcl-passrc units. They dump a complete syntax tree.
It is used to generate (a currently limited version of)  javascript, and 
used to create documentation.

so it should be usable to generate C code...

The test program re-dumps a pascal program. 
Presumably you can adapt that to generate C.
