Hi,

I'm converting a C header file but there are two things left:

1. If the header file contains some D reserved word (in my case, "in" and "out" in a struct) what is the best way to workaround it? Do you write another C file and link about it?

2. What about va_list?

Auto reply, found both:

1. Just rename the varname, stupid stupid stupid!

2. import std.c.stdarg

The convention I use for reserved words is to append an underscore to the word.  So code may need to be changed a bit, but it's as close as possible to the original.

If I'm following you correctly, see core.stdc.stdarg.
