tool-tips's Issues

improve splitter regular expression

In lsb/fix_header_struct.py, the pattern used to split a struct member is now:

struct_mem = re.search(r'(.+)\s+([\w*]+)', line.strip(), re.S)

meaning match group element 1 is the member type and element 2 is the member name. However, it "gets it wrong" for pointer types:

GdkWindow|*window

be nice to adjust the splitting so it comes out like

GdkWindow *|window

RFE: add cacheing

add a periodic SRPM cache to consult

probably use find and time based ageing

portability: missing rpm macro under earlier distributions

need to add some rpm macros 'out of the future' when not locally present

function pointer parser

Once we recognize that a struct member is a function pointer, it would be nice to
be able to break apart the string so we can make use of it. Given that we have
split a line into a pair as in this example:

type: void
name: (* value_changed) (GtkScaleButton *button, gdouble value)

We want to break the "name" string into:

• name entry in TypeMember: value_changed
• Type for this fptr: (*) (GtkScaleButton *, gdouble)
• members of fptr type: GtkScaleButton *button, gdouble value
  which for looking up the type first and then adding the field, need to
  be further broken into type/name correctly.
