Re: Extracting fn prototypes

Hi,

I would refer you to the ctags as it is made for what you are trying to do.

Uh, it isn't really. Tags are there to help you locate the function implementation, not the prototype declaration. They don't contain functions that are declared only in headers and have no imlementation (in available source). Tag files don't contain accurate function signature information, so if you're going to use them you still have to do some scanning of the source code data yourself to fix it up.	[reply]
