I don't think CTFE is good enough to parse C code in all its complex glory - and it would be 1000 times too slow if it did.

Unless you need to get at an external program or file, I would fully expect to be able to write a fully functional C parser using only CTFE-usable constructs. However, I expect that it would be disgusting to do so, and as you say, it would be horribly inefficient.

No it's good, this is just what I wanted people to do. It would be great if you could report these issues: https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep/issues If you have a simple test case or a header I can try that would be great. -- /Jacob Carlborg |
