Hi,
I am using cython to wrap some fairly large C API, with a big numbers
of enumerations. Those API are big enough so that I got tired of
manually declaring the definitions (in particular enum), and start
working on a code generator based on gccxml. It almost works for some
non trivial headers (CoreAudio framework, Alsa headers), but I have a
problem with the following kind of C declaration:
typedef struct foo foo_t;
struct foo {
foo_t *foo;
}
AFAIK, cython does support typedefing a struct directly, and you
should use something like that instead:
cdef struct foo:
foo_t *foo
ctypdef foo foo_t
Which does not work as the recursive reference uses the typedef'd type
name. The following works, though:
cdef struct foo:
foo *foo
ctypdef foo foo_t
For now, I can get away by modifying on the fly the gccxml parsed tree
when I detect a recursive reference, but this feels hackish. Is there
a better way ?
David
