I think that using regexps to parse those structures is fragile and difficult to get right[0], as there are lots of corner cases (comments, complex types, ...). I'd suggest using a tool designed to do that, for example pycparser[1], that provides the required infrastructure to parse C units into an AST: from there you can easily extract interesting pieces and write out in whatever format you need. As an example, I used it to extract[2] enums and defines from PostgreSQL C headers[3] and rewrite them as Python definitions[4]. Good luck, ciao, lele.
