I tried the header file and noticed that all previous error messages are 
lost when the parser completely bails out with the error given above. 
I'll try to fix this.

The bad trouble in this header comes from two issues:

- the parser doesn't understand operator overloads, so you'd better 
comment these. There is often no good replacement anyway.

- the parser stumbles over namespaces in type names, e.g. std::vector. 
you might get better results by replacing these with a single identifier 
or just remove the namespace "std::".

In the udp.hh header, there are a lot of "sizeof type" without 
parenthesis. I wasn't aware that these are optional when I wrote the 
parser, so they are mandatory ATM.
