[comp.lang.c] How do I convert from real

pruss@ria.ccs.uwo.ca (A.R. Pruss) (08/03/90)

I have a large piece of ANSI C code on my hands which runs on real C compilers
and on Microsoft C (i.e. compilers which have at least the ANSI prototype
support), but I now need to get the code compiling on a Sun with Sun's
prototype-less compiler.  Anyways, since the code makes a number of implicit
type conversions, I need a utility that would go thru the code and the
prototypes and produce explicit type-casts for all of the function arguments.
Is there such a beast?  Awk, gawk, etc., scripts are welcome, as are yacc/lex
or C programs.

Thank you most kindly in advance.  If you help me, I will change the
volume name on my PC's drive to your email address--or build a shrine
to you--or light 100 candles in the Cathedral.  :-)
