Once again the design goals are different.   Note that the first mail
in this thread was 15 days ago.  During this time we got a working
prototype.  I'm sure that it would have taken us 15 days too to even
figure out how to correctly interface with cppyy, not to mention that
it requires a C++ compiler and --- as far as I know --- cannot handle
some of the most C-specific ways headers are written, like (ab)uses of
macros.


A bientôt,

Armin.
