C function parameter names lost in translation

[xlab]

Hey @cznic, it seems that you have a header where functions have no parameter names, otherwise I cannot see the true reason of this behaviour. Could you provide an example?

For my example, take any binding I ever made, there are parameter names, moreover, they are protected from collisions.

The problem with name mangling is that it makes the code unreadable, however the motto of cgogen is "to generate bindings as if a real person wrote them", i.e. the code must be suitable for reading, modifying and re-using by humans.

That's what really makes the difference from, say, SWIG.

You're right. I completely missed that the header file declares only parameter types, but no names. Very unfortunate. FTR: It's gmp and it looks, for example, like this (/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/gmp.h:1249):

/**************** Float (i.e. F) routines.  ****************/

#define mpf_abs __gmpf_abs
__GMP_DECLSPEC void mpf_abs (mpf_ptr, mpf_srcptr);

#define mpf_add __gmpf_add
__GMP_DECLSPEC void mpf_add (mpf_ptr, mpf_srcptr, mpf_srcptr);
