Hello list,

How to do some C header files parsing and automatic code transformation.

like:

parse this <sys/time.h> header file, and generate code for this API:

int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);

generated code(automatically call the API, and dump the structure appropriately):

void dump_time(void)

{

struct timeval tv = {0};

struct timezone tz = {0};

gettimeofday(&tv, &tz);

printf("tv_sec: %d, tv_usec: %d\n", tv.tv_sec, tv.tv_usec);

printf("tz_minuteswest: %d, tz_dsttime: %d\n", tz.tz_minuteswest, tz.tz_dsttime);

}

because I'm working on a SDK which has hundreds of API to set and get headware states.

It'll will be very nice to write some haskell code to parse the header files and generate C code

that can dump hardware state automatically.
