Please read <http://cfaj.freeshell. org/google/>.
As it turns out, typedefs make C very difficult to parse with just the
usual tools. (I speak from painful experience.) The preprocessor
makes it nearly impossible, unless you parse the code *after* it's
been preprocessed (or implement your own preprocessor as part of your
parser).
A Google search for "C parser" is undoubtedly the best first step.
You can reinvent this particular wheel if you like, but making it
round is going to be harder than you think.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.
