  Just starting to Use the MaxMind GeoLite2 does anyone know how to read the content of GeoLite2-*.mmdb files from Nim?

  I'm trying to use the c2nim tool to translate the c library to Nim, but it gives an error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  $ c2nim maxminddb.h

  
  /home/hdias/devel/maxmind/libmaxminddb/main/include/maxminddb.h(90, 50) Error: token expected: ; but got: [identifier]
  Run

  ...
  #if !(MMDB_UINT128_IS_BYTE_ARRAY)
  #if MMDB_UINT128_USING_MODE
  typedef unsigned int mmdb_uint128_t __attribute__((__mode__(TI))); <===
  #else
  typedef unsigned __int128 mmdb_uint128_t;
  #endif
  #endif

  There's my nim-mmdb which is a pure Nim implementation and is reasonably feature-complete as far as I know; see here for example usage.

  (Currently supports record size 24 and 32, but not 28.)

  Thank you @z_____________! Great, I'll take a look.
