I am aware about this poject. If I understand right, one of the
reasons Pyste has success is it's ability to read C++ code with 100%
exectness. I don't know whether synopsis is able to do the same.
pygccxml backend could be changed. This is pretty easy. I tried to
extend it using VisualStudio Intellicense API. An other backend is
could be based on *bsc ( browse source code ) files.
