All these seemed to work except for 2. In the c2hs output it says: cpp -x c ... not: cpp -x -c ... I think that might be a key issue.
Doh! That was my mistake. :-) It really should be "-x c" not "-x -c". The latter means something totally different :-) Sorry, could you try again with my mistake corrected. Here's an excerpt from the cpp man page on my system: -x c -x c++ -x objective-c -x assembler-with-cpp Specify the source language: C, C++, Objective-C, or assembly. This has nothing to do with standards conformance or extensions; it merely selects which base syntax to expect. If you give none of these options, cpp will deduce the language from the extension of the source file: .c, .cc, .m, or .S. Some other common extensions for C++ and assembly are also recognized. If cpp does not recognize the extension, it will treat the file as C; this is the most generic mode. I thought this -x c feature was portable, where as relying on cpp to default to C mode for a .h file seems much less so. Perhaps we should just spit out a .c file instead of a .h file. It wouldn't make much difference to c2hs as far as I can see. Duncan
