Parsing C Header Files in C #

I am working with Visual Studio C #, and I need to parse the C header files to retrieve information only about function declarations contained inside. For each function I need a name, return type and its parameters. If possible, I need parameters in the order in which they appear in the function declaration. I saw material on the Internet about using visual studio tags or Exhuberant Ctags, etc. But from what I have compiled, these are not the options that allow me to parse from my C # program with C # code (maybe I'm wrong?). I also looked through all the other answers to related questions, but they don't seem to apply to my situation (I can just be dumb). If I could at least get all the lines of code representing function declarations,I would have a good start and I could manually make out the rest. thanks in advance

To “parse” C (header) files in the deepest sense and get type information for function declarations, in practice you need to:

  • full preprocessor (including vendor-added pecaddillos, MS has some pretty weird stuff in its headers)
  • full (syntactic) AST parser / builder for the dialect C of interest (there is no such thing as "C", there is what the seller offers in this revision of the compiler)
  • building a table with a full character (since typedef are aliases for actual types of interests)
