I have recently made some modifications to the h2pas utility program. The patch is an attempt to make h2pas use types defined in the ctypes unit. The advantage is that the headers might more portable on various architectures. I consider this an early version because there may be some things that I'm missing and I'm not completely satisfied with it. I still refers to pointer types with either a capital P or ^ instead of a lowercase p.

If you merge this, there is a new parameter -C which specifies that you wish to use types from the ctypes unit. As always; flames, comments, and criticism are welcome.

On a related note, why does h2pas have so many parameters ? Just convert that header file, I'd say ;-).

Hello all

since revision 4648, the cycle build fails on i386-linux (as it did on amd64, but that's fixed)

damn it, it's 4649!!!!!!!!! lol, im tired

The automatic i386/linux testsuite still runs to completion (which requires that a cycle first worked), so it doesn't seem a universal problem:

This bug was introduced in r4674 and had nothing to do with the previous failure on amd64 (that was a different internalerror). It's fixed now.
