Source code converters are OK, in and on themselves, but the problem begins when you try to edit the generated code. Code created by a generator is usually understandable only to the compiler - most likely even the generator is confused reading what it has produced. You don't create an assembler listing from compiled code and change that in assembler either (at least not as long hell is not overbooked and you are sentenced to doing this for your sins instead).

Let us take a step back: what is the reason you don't want to use a shell script? Maybe there is a way to solve this problem without using this abomination in what C was never intended to look like.

I hope this helps.

Hi, I have a main loop which calls a sub loop, which finally returns to the main loop itself. The main loop runs when a flag is set.

JOCAMLDEP(1)						      General Commands Manual						      JOCAMLDEP(1)

NAME
jocamldep - Dependency generator for JoCaml SYNOPSIS
jocamldep [ -I lib-dir ] filename ... DESCRIPTION
The jocamldep(1) command scans a set of Objective Caml source files (.ml and .mli files) for references to external compilation units, and outputs dependency lines in a format suitable for the make(1) utility. This ensures that make will compile the source files in the correct order, and recompile those files that need to when a source file is modified. The typical usage is: jocamldep options *.mli *.ml > .depend where .depend is the file that should contain the dependencies. Dependencies are generated both for compiling with the bytecode compiler jocamlc(1) and with the native-code compiler jocamlopt(1). OPTIONS
The following command-line option is recognized by jocamldep(1). -I directory Add the given directory to the list of directories searched for source files. If a source file foo.ml mentions an external compila- tion unit Bar, a dependency on that unit's interface bar.cmi is generated only if the source for bar is found in the current direc- tory or in one of the directories specified with -I. Otherwise, Bar is assumed to be a module form the standard library, and no dependencies are generated. For programs that span multiple directories, it is recommended to pass jocamldep(1) the same -I options that are passed to the compiler. -native Generate dependencies for a pure native-code program (no bytecode version). When an implementation file (.ml file) has no explicit interface file (.mli file), jocamldep(1) generates dependencies on the bytecode compiled file (.cmo file) to reflect interface changes. This can cause unnecessary bytecode recompilations for programs that are compiled to native-code only. The flag -native causes dependencies on native compiled files (.cmx) to be generated instead of on .cmo files. (This flag makes no difference if all source files have explicit .mli interface files.)
