Is there a C header parser tool for wrapper generation like gccxml?

Question

I need to write a few c header wrappers for a new programming language and would like something like gccxml but without the full dependency on gcc and the problems it gives on a windows system.

Just needs to read C not C++. Output in any format is okay as long it is fully documented.

Need it for Curl, SQLite, GTK2, SDL, OpenGL, Win32 API and C posix API's on Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD/MacOSX.

Answer 1

VivaCore is very cool. Have you tried SWIG the wikipedia page on ffi has some good links too. I think there is a MSVC codedom example that does C also.

Answer 2

See our SD C Front End for DMS. Full C parsing, symbol table construction, post parsing dump of any information you like. Can dump code and symbol tables in XML format.

Answer 3

You may like pycparser in Python. Used in CFFI and other awesome projects.
