C Structure to XML

[Sasidhar]

Hi,
I have some C structures defined as part of the system we are
currently implementing. For testing the system I would like to fill
these structures with different values read from a file and call the
functions. I am thinking of using XML as the file format.
Are there any tools that will generate a DTD from the C structures so
that I can verify that the contents of the xml files have all the
fields in the c structure.



Thanks in advance,
Sasidhar

To do this, you need a tool that can fully parse C source code.
Our DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit has a full C
source code parser, and could easily be configured to
spit out DTDs for each structure.
