Does anyone use it? If so, how do you find it? For wrapping trivial or almost-trivial C library interfaces it's great. I've also *tried* (seriously) to use it for quite a few wrapper libraries I've created, but invariably it ends up being too much work to get it to act right, and I just end up writing custom C code (usually with a few macros to cut down on copy&paste code). Now I just don't bother anymore and go straight to C. -- Bardur Arantsson - "It was the best of times, it was the *blurst* of times?" You stupid monkey! Montgomery Burns | The Simpsons
