Crude and primitive helper module for C header lib V wrapping

Can be used as module and provides a basic command-line app for testing things out.

Before you dive in:

• chew will usually only get you 60-90% of the way to a nice wrapper.
• chew will sometimes only get you 0% of the way, depending on how the C API code is written...
• chew isn't very well documented and probably won't ever be.
• Please keep your expectations low - chew uses, fairly, simple string parsing to achieve it's goal.
• If you start crying after using chew, don't blame me.
• If you start crying after using chew, because it worked, do tell me :).
• Use (and contribute to) c2v instead - it's a better tool for the job when it matures.
• I won't provide much support for chew - a few questions is OK - but it's a project solely for personal use - I released it only because some might find it useful or interesting.
• It has helped me a lot - but may not help you a lot - use at your own risk and expense.
• Enjoy - if you dare use it :)

Currently chew expects that you setup your own V <-> C includes for each module you want to wrap.

Basically chew expects your V module to have a sub-folder named c with V files doing the actual C setup. See Larpon/miniaudio for an example setup that works.

The output(s) of chew is then expected to live at the module root - where it can do import c.

Basic run: v run ~/.vmodules/chew <toml project config file> <header file or dir> <output dir>

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio.git
v run ~/.vmodules/chew ~/.vmodules/chew/configs/chew.miniaudio.toml ./miniaudio/miniaudio.h /tmp
cat /tmp/miniaudio.auto.c.v
# ... copy /tmp/miniaudio.auto.c.v to the V module wrapper root. E.g: cp miniaudio.auto.c.v ~/.vmodules/miniaudio

Currently chew needs a little quite a lot of help understanding the C sources it parses to get everything going.

This help is expressed via TOML config files.

See chew/configs for example configs.
