Parsing a global variable that's a pointer to an array of functions

[kaushalmodi]

Hello,

Today I started working on a Nim wrapper for another SystemVerilog/C interface called "VPI".

The SystemVerilog standard provides a vpi_user.h that has this:

/****************************** GLOBAL VARIABLES ******************************/

PLI_VEXTERN PLI_DLLESPEC void (*vlog_startup_routines[]) ();

I am not very familiar with C, but looking at a C example, it looks like this is a pointer to an array of function symbols.

C example:

// Register the new system task here
void (*vlog_startup_routines[ ] ) () = {
    registerHelloSystfs,
    0  // last entry must be 0
};

example reference

But nimterop (version 0.6.13) parses that global variable declaration as a proc:

proc vlog_startup_routines*() {.importc, cdecl, impsv_vpi_userHdr.}

---

Also, while this gets fixed in nimterop, can you please suggest how I can override the vlog_startup_routines mapping in cOverride. I don't know how to translate a pointer to array of void returning functions to Nim.

Thanks!
