The data in the functions2.log file takes the following format:
'fdecls' => ARRAY(0x80e53c0)
0 'int fibonacci(int degree);'
1 'int towerOfHanoiMoves(int numOfDisks);'
2 'void xyzzy(char* easterEgg);'
3 'char* interesting();'
4 'extern void system_alarm_run(int *alarm);'
5 'extern void system_alarm_pause(int *alarm);'
6 'extern int *system_timer_new( unsigned long tag );'
7 'extern int *system_timer_callback_new( void (*callback_function)
(unsigned long tag), unsigned long tag );'
8 'int system_timer_start( int * timer, long time );'
9 'long system_timer_pause( int * timer );'
10 'int system_timer_stop( int * timer );'
11 'int system_timer_del( int * timer );'
And I need to remove the actual function declaration and assign each of
the words to variables, such as, $return_type, $function_name, etc.
Is that any clearer?
Thanks,
YM
