AbtCLangParser and function prototypes

When using the AbtCLangParser to parse:
    unsigned char GciProduct(void);
the resulting prototype declaration converts to a signed platform function, rather than unsigned.

e.g. <c: int8 'xyzzy':GciProduct> instead of <c: uint8 'xyzzy':GciProduct>


Any recommendations for making this work correctly without hacking vendor code?

Thanks, Donald. I will send you my hacks in a day or two. I think most of them are pretty reasonable code, but others may need some work to be "product quality".

Other hacks would benefit from changing the implementation from hard-coded to variable-based, so customers could augment the default. e.g. there is a class-side method listing a number of words which makes it difficult to add an extra word to the list.

Richard,

You are correct that this is wrong and the vendor code does indeed need to be hacked.  I will look into it along with your other questions.

Feel free to send your own hack. ;-)

Thanks,
