Forgive me, I have forgotten, this may have been discussed before..
Is h2pas the latest tool to convert C headers to pas files?
For FPC, yes.
Is there a competing tool that does more, or is updated more?
I remember Bob Swart AFAIR had a popular tool for delphi.
And some people use multiple tools if one tool is giving them issues.
Is h2pas for example the one that is used for Mysql header translations
and other major C headers?
Yes.
I am looking to convert the GNU MPFR library header files, or hire
someone on a bounty to do it if header translation is not so easy with
h2pas and requires lots of hand work, and close checking.
I do all header translations with h2pas. Most of the time, I run the code
first through gcc -E, which will take care of all macro magic. Usually h2pas
has little trouble with the result.
