Introspector is a software tool to explore the structure of programs that can be compiled with the GNU Compiler Collection. The project was started in early 2002, and made a release in November 2003. It has been restarted in November 2004 and is gaining new form.

The introspector is being described in more detail on the introspector wikibook http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introspector

It works by using a version of GCC modified to output data in Resource Description Framework format via the Redland API from its abstract semantic graph, then uses the special data structure "ice cube" for higher speed transfer of the data. The ice cube is a compressed data cube, a set of vectors describing the compiler graphs efficiently.
