How to parse a C header file?

Question

Does anyone know a spiffy way to use C header files in Python? For example I have a C program that includes a global variable:

typedef struct ImageInfo
{
            


        

Answer 1

For the same purpose I'm considering pyclibrary, it is not a complete C parser but it is aimed at parsing C header files, so it is much easier to use than pycparser or some gccxml-based parser: although weakly documented, just try CParser.py testHeader.h and you'll see how it works.

Depends on pyparsing and, as far as I understand, it is pure python.
