How to visualize a Clang AST in Compiler Explorer
A post published on April 1, 2026, shows how Compiler Explorer can display the Clang AST for a short C++ program.

What happened and what to do
On April 1, 2026, a post demonstrated an example in Compiler Explorer that uses Clang to compile a short C++ program. The code calls `foo` and includes a conditional calculation based on `a % 2`. The post notes that the tool can display the abstract syntax tree (AST) generated by Clang, helping engineers understand how the compiler represents the code.
A company could use this approach to investigate C++ code, document relevant structures, and support technical reviews. One possible implementation is a workflow that gathers authorized examples or snippets, generates AST visualizations, and makes the results available in an internal interface, with access controls and execution monitoring.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can assess how your team analyzes C++ code, define the scope for an AST inspection and visualization workflow, and implement and operate the solution on your infrastructure.
