Walter,

Any chance we can get the source of htod? If found it a very useful little utility, although there are many issues with it.

VisualD also include a similar utility to convert header files to D, but it is more tuned to Windows header files. Perhaps we can combine the two into a new utility?

Lio.

I think htod is based on dmc so open sourcing it would be a problem.

Ah, right. I remember now :) HTOD is using the DMC frontend for C/H parsing and that's not open sourced. Got it.

I've been thinking about making it "source available".

There's already DStep, fully open source:

https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep

Cross-platform, can convert C and Objective-C. Unfortunately I haven't got it to link on Windows, stupid Optlink. I'll guess I should give it another try.

What about keeping the DMC frontend code in a (static) library? Would that work for the time being?
