agreed - it's not going to work. The updated manpage says
The program does not pipe the source files through the C preprocessor
when it is converting function definitions (i.e., options -a, -b, -t).
That is because cproto does the conversion by replacing strings, rather
than by converting to/from lexical tokens. Instead of using the C pre‐
processor, cproto tries to handle preprocessor directives and macros
itself, to find type definitions. There are several limitations as a
result:
• the search-path for included files contains only “/usr/include” and
the directories listed by “-I” options.
• conditional directives (e.g., “#if”) are ignored.
• only macros without parameters are handled.
• some comments in the function definition head are discarded.
