I find it quite surprising that it doesn't like wchar_t, but depending on what version of C it's converting to, maybe wchar_t isn't officially part of it. I don't know. I would have expected it to work. However, regardless of this specific issue, htod hasn't been updated in quite a while, and if you really want to be automatically generating C bindings, I'd suggest that you look at dstep, which uses clang: http://code.dlang.org/packages/dstep https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep - Jonathan M Davis

Re: htod for linux
You may also want to try dstep - I just recently used that tool for the first time, and it worked really well (required a bit of tweaking of the source and result files though, but nothing major). => https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep
Re: htod for linux
I think we need a dub package for the cpp standard library. If somebody has managed to get that together, it would be a great step towards better cpp interoperability.

Re: htod - const
Why is 'const' removed? cause htod sucks. D1 didn't have const and htod wasn't updated for ages.
Re: htod - const
trass3r, I wouldn't say that it sucks. It has really helped a lot in porting some simple header files. It goes terribly bad on the more complex though.

Re: htod
My expectation is not that I can htod that 17k line header and magically have a d module. A lot of the header is #define'd constants and typedefs and I _do_ expect htod to remove some of the scutwork involved there. At this point I'd just be happy if it ran w/o error.
