I think you are referring to gcc-xml [1]. A similar approach is used in
Lqt bindings with the custom-written cpptoxml [2] parser.

IMO the Doxygen output is better suited for binding - undocumented
functions will simply not be bound. However, gccxml and cpptoxml will
pick up every method it finds in header files :)
