Using Eclipse CDT parser outside of CDT

Question

Is it possible to use Eclipse's CDT parser outside of Eclipse, to analyze C sources off line?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible.

I work in a project called CPAchecker which does exactly that.

Answer 2

If you are not constraint to use Eclipse CDT I recommend you to use clang/llvm. It is a fairly young compiler and code analyzer, but it has good performance.
