Is it able to prepare bindings, i. e. translate headers, and prepare
binding or wrapper modules, by making possible to call exported C
functions described in a header files?
As far as I remember, c2cp is best for translating algorithms. And it
cannot deal with external calls, recursively search definitions in a
number of header files, etc. For that task, AFAIK, the best is Stewart
Greenhill's H2O translator. It has configuration files, can behave
differently in a number of situations, and is not able to deal only with
very complicated macroses. And even in that case, I was able to generate
header translations just by using stripped copies of header files. For
example, stdio.h contains a lot of macroses, but if I need to use
popen() described there, I paste it and a number of useful functions in
a separate file, mentions several paths in H2O config and fire up it.

Sincerely,
Norayr
