Errors on const pointer declarations and #define preprocessor declarations #227
Description
I'm using ctypesgen on VideoLAN's libdvdread library. It's throwing the following errors:
ERROR: .../libdvdread/src/dvdread/bitreader.h:31: Syntax error at '*'

The offending parts of code in bitreader.h are:
typedef struct {
const uint8_t *start; /* line 31 */
uint32_t byte_position;
uint32_t bit_position;
} getbits_state_t;
DVDREAD_API int dvdread_getbits_init(getbits_state_t *state, const uint8_t *start); /* line 36 */From what I can tell, the const uint8_t * declaration in each of those lines upsets ctypesgen. However, this appears to be perfectly correct C.
The offending lines in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/cdefs.h are:
# define __attribute_malloc__ __attribute__ ((__malloc__)) /* line 452 */
# define __attribute_pure__ __attribute__ ((__pure__)) /* line 479 */
# define __attribute_const__ __attribute__ ((__const__)) /* line 486 */
# define __attribute_maybe_unused__ __attribute__ ((__unused__)) /* line 492 */
# define __attribute_used__ __attribute__ ((__used__)) /* line 501 */
# define __attribute_noinline__ __attribute__ ((__noinline__)) /* line 502 */
# define __attribute_deprecated__ __attribute__ ((__deprecated__)) /* line 510 */
# define __returns_nonnull __attribute__ ((__returns_nonnull__)) /* line 568 */
# define __attribute_warn_unused_result__ \
__attribute__ ((__warn_unused_result__)) /* lines 577 & 578 */
# define __attribute_artificial__ __attribute__ ((__artificial__)) /* line 604 */The only thing that looks problematic about these defines are the space between the # and define. Is this some sort of "extension" in GNUC where I need to set a flag?
