CPARSE

Introduction

CPARSE is a tool written by Timothy Moore to parse C header files into FFI definitions. The tool will initially support only CMUCL FFI definitions but will be extended to support the generic UFFI library.

Current maintainer is Christian Lynbech.

Note that cparse is somewhat limited in its ability to understand C header files. In particular, CPARSE does not have a concept of macros as the header files are preprocessed prior to CPARSE handling. Other approaches certainly exists, for instance FFIGEN.

Plans

This are the current plans/ideas for CPARSE. Feel free to make further suggestions on the mailing list.

Merge in Christians stuff. This includes a port to ACL FFI and the start of a port to UFFI FFI.
Investigate handling of "long long".
Let CPARSE loose on random C header files and make a set of examples. Try to clean out Linux/GCC'isms.
Write automated tests for CPARSE. Franz' test harness seems rather good so it will probably be based on that.
