Sure, the Data exists, but it is in *very* different formats between
compilers (compare even open source C language front ends you'll see
huge variances in data formats). And if you're familiar with how
complicated the C++ spec is, you'd know that there is *way* too much
information to ever get compiler introspection of in a standard sort
of way. If you don't need something portable or standard, look into a
gcc extension such as dehydra for gcc. Then again, if you don't need
something standard it'd be trivial to generate c++ declarations
through a custom preprocessor.
