We have recently switched from Rational's cbind to the enhanced version,
c2ada by Randy Hudson and Mitch Gart of Intermetrics. I'm fairly new to
this version and I keep running into the following problem: c2ada
(aka cbfe) reports a construct of the form:
typedef unsigned char uchar_t;
as a syntax error. This occurs, for example, in sys/types.h. I've
studied the documentation
(http://www.inmet.com/~mg/c2ada/c2ada.html), and although there seem to
be lots of great things you can do in the Python config file, I didn't
see anything about typedef's (maybe I missed it).
If anyone knows how to solve this, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
We're using Solaris 2, by the way.

Ok, I've figured out that my last post was really off-track. If you give
c2ada the "typedef unsigned char ..." construct in isolation, it has no
trouble at all. The problem is that things the tool has trouble with
*prior to* the line flagged as a syntax error don't show up until that
line. So a message like:
./sys/machlock.h, line 19, Error: syntax error
really means that there's a problem in the *file that included*
sys/machlock.h, for example (whatever that may be), or perhaps a file
that was included earlier by the one referred to in the error message.
So now I'm trying to figure out a logical strategy for tracking down
these problems so I can do something about them. I just wanted to
correct the false assertion in my last post.
