Being able to declare C-style structure might be nice, but it doesn't get me any closer to converting the C include files that I already am. The tools I've got let me work pretty well with structures. I can declare them, and transparently read and write into them. The real problem is converting C include files into Euphoria. For example, GTK has a zillion files (one for each class), each of which is fairly large and complex, with preprocessor directives, and so on. In the past, I've hacked code that would parse 95% of the code correctly. The remaining 5% would have to be hand coded. That doesn't seem too bad, until there's an update to the libraries, and all this hand-fixing has to happen again. It would be nice if there were a tool that would parse the C include files with 100% accuracy. -- David Cuny
