Jean, Paddy
I use "pym" to extract bits of pascal out of delphi code for documentation purposes. You have to add some stuff to the delphi code (in your case, C header), but these are added within comment blocks, and the interesting thing is that you add python code(!) as a kind of dynamic markup which pym executes while parsing the file.
In other words, you can write python code within a comment block in your C-header to generate unit-tests into other files, and get that code executed with pym.
Keep well Caleb

I thus need to parse the code, then rewrite function calls with wrong parameters. What I call "shaking the broken tree" :) I chose to make my UT-generator in Python 2.4. However, I am now encountering problems in choosing the right parser for the job. I struggle in choosing between the inappropriate, the out-of-date, the alpha, or the too-big-for-the task...
Why not see if the output from a tags file generator such as ctags or etags will do what you want.
I often find that some simpler tools do 95% of the work and it is easier to treat the other five percent as broken-input.
