Thanks for pointing to the appropriate mailing list. This is what appears to be happening. file.chs has a line: #include "file.h" After running: c2hs file.chs file.h gets modified so that it contains just: #include "file.h"
So I lose the contents of file.h every time I run c2hs!
Yes, this file is generated by c2hs from the things you put in the .chs file (like #include and other cpp stuff, #if and the like). So you can't modify that .h file yourself. Also, you cannot #include "file.h" inside "file.chs" because that'll generate a "file.h" file that recursively #includes itself! Personally, I think it's very bad behaviour that the file is called the same as the .chs file but with a .h extension, since this is exactly the name of a file that many people will want to include. I intend to change it to use file.chs.h or something similar that will not clash. (Also I'd like to not generate any .chs.h file in the common case of just #including a single .h file.) Duncan
