Hi,

I need a header file parser that extracts function and type names and dumps
them to text file. (These names will in turn be added as keywords to my
editor so that I get syntax highlighting.)

Is there such a utility available?


Thanks

ctags, perhaps? If your editor doesn't already do C syntax highlighting,
you may want to consider switching to one that does. It's a very common
feature nowadays.

Thanks! I tried Exuberant Ctags and it seems to do what I want. I'm using
JEdit, which does have a C/C++ editing mode(w/ syntax highlighting).
Additionally, I want the functions and types of the Palm OS API to be
highlighted to help detect typos.
