It is in the concurrency branch in Emacs bzr. I assume this is mirrored
in git, but I'm not sure.
I can email you the two .el scripts if you like, plus the little GCC
patch I had to use to get the right location for the -> tokens. Just
let me know.
If you check out the concurrency branch, the files are
src/hack-buffer-objfwd.el and src/rewrite-globals.el.

Recent versions of GCC are a lot better about marking the correct token
when emitting an error. Red Hat put some work into this.
What hack-buffer-objfwd.el actually does is go to the location of the
error, then go backwards over sexps doing some pattern matching to see
where the left-hand-side of the -> operator starts. Then it rewrites.
This is rather hacky and IIRC there are some Emacs-specific heuristics
in there.

Wojciech> Any chances to get it back to life?
I have zero (really negative) free time. But yes, it can be
resurrected. One starting point would be doing a merge from trunk.
Giuseppe did this but ran into problems... I still don't really know the
details, just that things changed on trunk in some conflicting way.
Wojciech> Shall we setup a public repo somewhere then?
We had one on gitorious. But I think if you are going to try to work on
trunk you should just use bzr. Or at least use the semi-official git
mirror when preparing patches.
