AutoPXD

When it comes to writing Cython modules most of your work will comprise of get-ting your pxd declarations correct so that you can manipulate native code correctly. There are several projects attempting to create a compiler to read C/C++ headers and generate your pxd declarations as output. The main issue is maintaining a fully compliant C and C++ parser. Part of my Google Summer of Code project was to use the Python plugin system as part of GCC to reuse GCC's code for parsing C/C++ code. The plugin could intercept the declarations, types and prototypes. It isn't fully ready for use and there are other similar projects attempting the same issue.
