"""

Py++ does not reinvent the wheel. It uses GCC C++ compiler to parse C++
source files. To be more precise, the tool chain looks like this:
	1. source code is passed to GCC-XML
	2. GCC-XML passes it to GCC C++ compiler
	3. GCC-XML generates an XML description of a C++ program from GCC's internal
representation.
	4. Py++ uses pygccxml package to read GCC-XML generated file."""
