3157 :: c2nim - Multi-character constants and structs

• emg (orginal) [2017-09-09T04:05:12+02:00] view original

  Hi all,

  I'm trying to use c2nim tool to convert some internal c library's header and I ran into two issues. The C Header has preprocessor defines like the following

  
  #define TK_DataType_FBR			'FBR8'
  Run

  Trying to parse this gives me an error like this

  
  " Error: missing final ' for character literal".
  Run

  The issue is if it's just a few constants, I would convert them manually by myself but the header has hundreds of such macros.

  Another issue I ran into is with structs that have members conditionally declared by macros like this

  
  typedef struct {
                  #ifdef	LOW_PRECISION
                          short	_xS16;
                          short	_yS16;
                  #else
                          int	_xL32;
                          int	_yL32;
                  #endif
          } GIS_Pt;
  Run

  This gives me an error like this

  
   Error: identifier expected, but found '}'
  Run

  Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  Not sure because i don't have experience with this tool, but it might be a bug. Try reporting it in github issues section.
