Well, it took almost 3 hours (debugging regexps takes time),
so it was not that quick. Of course if hadn't borrowed 95%
of the code from winapi_check it would have taken _much_ longer.

Why do you wish to know awk (except to read awk applications)?
Perl is much better.

The big problem is that is crashes for some input files.
It can be fixed but must often be so in case by case basis.
This currently happens in about 1% of the files I have tested
and fixing it was non-trivial so I haven't done it yet.
Also strange function protypes that can't be identified as such
are simple skipped and it is hard for me to know if that happends.
Please report to me if you find any.
But as you say 100% perfection isn't needed.

Yes, it just outputs data as it finds it.
Also note that it can't handle preprocessor
directives so that can sometimes make functions
be outputed twice because of that.
Anyway I'm not sure it really should handle such things.
After all you can alway use sort and uniq or
a simple perl script. It isn't very useful
at its current form so some formating is needed anyway.

Your welcome.
