You probably don't even need to know which data type a given enum belongs to. A simple list mapping all enums to their internal values might already be enough. Have a look at cmd-name.pl in the util directory for how to read information from a single file and output the processed data into another file. The enum header file follows a very strict syntax that should be easy to parse. Basically, you check each line for the "enum" keyword and start counting at zero at the line following it, skipping all comments. Worst case, enum definitions use the syntax "ENUM_DEF = 20, // comment" that can be read out using regexes (e.g. /\W([\w_]+)(\s*=\s*(\d+))?,/) with $1 as the enum and $3 (if defined) as the new value for the internal counter). Eventually, you might have to include checks for other commenting styles (/**/ or #if 0) but that can wait until the basic parsing works (and can be handled by adding a single boolean for whether the current code is commented out or not). As for the TAG_MAJOR_VERSION checks, as long as KiloByte is on the team (may he stay for a long while :)) you can be sure that these checks always refer to the current version and can simply treat them as true.
