ANN: gcc-python-plugin 0.12

[David Malcolm]

gcc-python-plugin is a plugin for GCC 4.6 onwards which embeds the
CPython interpreter within GCC, allowing you to write new compiler
warnings in Python, generate code visualizations, etc.

It ships with "gcc-with-cpychecker", which implements static analysis
passes for GCC aimed at finding bugs in CPython extensions.  In
particular, it can automatically detect reference-counting errors:

Major new features in 0.12
==========================

* support added for GCC 4.8 (along with 4.6 and 4.7)
* addition of a new "gcc-c-api" component to isolate much of GCC's
internals (and the differences between 4.6-4.8).  I plan for this to
eventually be its own project, aiming at providing a stable API and ABI
for working with GCC, once it has proven itself in the context of the
python plugin.
* link-time-optimization support, for e.g. whole-program visualizations
across multiple source files.
