According to this page (https://dlang.org/htod.html), wchar_t 
should be recognized as wchar. But I'm just getting an error: 
"Error: ')' expected" ... anywhere a wchar_t appears in my .h 
file.

Anything I need to do? I'd prefer to keep this entire file 
uncommented so I don't always have to hand-edit the results of 
htod.

cheers

I find it quite surprising that it doesn't like wchar_t, but depending on
what version of C it's converting to, maybe wchar_t isn't officially part of
it. I don't know. I would have expected it to work.

However, regardless of this specific issue, htod hasn't been updated in
quite a while, and if you really want to be automatically generating C
bindings, I'd suggest that you look at dstep, which uses clang:
