Build overview of missing functions, constants, and structs

[timo]

It'd be cool to do this in an automated way. Either pull functions from the sdl wiki, or pull it from sdl's hg repository (both on libsdl.net)

http://wiki.libsdl.org/CategoryAPI — this has all the symbols in it, i.e. functions, constants, structs. Would be necessary to differentiate them by type, but it could be a good starting point.
http://wiki.libsdl.org/APIByCategory — this is the page i use most often to figure stuff out, for example when i want to build an example or program, rather than just to add to the bindings
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/default — this lets you browse the files of SDL's mercurial ("hg") repo

First attempt is at https://github.com/azawawi/scripts/blob/master/read-sdl2-doc.p6. Greedy match is a todo so far. 😢 I also tried C::Parser but that did not work well. I am thinking to use this script to insert SDL2 documentation as pod6 and to compare and generate missing stuff.

@timo What do you think?

i only glanced the output briefly so far, but it looks cool already. do you know if what gptrixie uses also gives us comments and such?

[azawawi]

No idea really but looks like it does not support that.

could castxml perhaps output comments? i don't really understand the structure of gptrixie's code 😕
