I agree with Mars. And any use of the word "little" on my part was purely sarcastic :-). But seriously, there are lots of toolkits I run into and am conservative with using them because of having to write declares.

I don't think we have to write a full-on C parser, and I also don't think we have to do a preprocessor. If we could just suck out the function definitions and constants, we would be doing great. Another step would be to write accessor functions for various types.

What's more, a parser-driven approach doesn't have to be platform specific; a single tool could generate Declare statements for header files from Mac
