C++ Reverse engineering - parsing errors during class diagram creation

General Questions/Discussions

Dear Sir/Madam

I am evaluating VP for UML Professional Edition. I was interested in C++ Reverse engineering feature. I have tried to create a class diagram from a large C++ project but the diagram is incomplete because of many parsing errors. Those error only differ by the end of the error message. Examples are:
1.
[Error] Unable to read file: <path to header file 1>. Parse error at line 67, column 105. Encountered: )
2.
[Error] Unable to read file: <path to header file 2>. Parse error at line 141, column 26. Encountered: throw
3.
[Error] Unable to read file: <path to header file 3>. Parse error at line 48, column 1. Encountered: public
4.
[Error] Unable to read file: <path to header file 4>. Parse error at line 62, column 31. Encountered: ELEMTYPE

I have got hundreds of such errors (yes, it is a big open source project), each of them seems to end the parsing process for the file and does not include classes declared there into the diagram.
Is there any way I can deal with it? Thank you in advance for any help :slight_smile:
