Interesting C header translation problem

I'm sorry to reply to a 2-year-old topic, but as the original API 
designer, I simply couldn't resist :)

Please do not stab me in the face.

The nanopb API was never designed to be wrapped, or to be used as 
a dynamic library. The situation in the targeted embedded systems 
is that everything is compiled by the same compiler, under same 
settings, to a single binary.

The packed attribute on enums in GCC makes them use the smallest 
integer type, uint8_t in this case. All this has been replaced 
with simpler typedef and #defines nowadays though.

As for what was being tried to do in this thread, I would think a 
native protobuf implementation for D would be much saner than 
trying to wrap a C implementation.
