<div class="paragraph"><p><span class="monospaced">mlnlffigen</span> generates a <a href="MLNLFFI">MLNLFFI</a> binding from a collection of <span class="monospaced">.c</span>
files. It is based on the <a href="CKitLibrary">CKitLibrary</a>, which is primarily designed
to handle standardized C and thus does not understand many (any?)
compiler extensions; however, it attempts to recover from errors when
seeing unrecognized definitions.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to work around common gcc extensions, it may be useful to add
<span class="monospaced">-cppopt</span> options to the command line; for example
<span class="monospaced">-cppopt '-D__extension__'</span> may be occasionally useful. Fortunately,
most portable libraries largely avoid the use of these types of
extensions in header files.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p><span class="monospaced">mlnlffigen</span> will normally not generate bindings for <span class="monospaced">#included</span>
files; see <span class="monospaced">-match</span> and <span class="monospaced">-allSU</span> if this is desirable.</p></div>
