The correct way to do this is to use menhir to read off the git source

code headers, create the tokens, then based off those tokens create an

AST then print that AST out, then compile that auto generated code.

Then that autogenerated code can be an ocaml package for usage on

ocamlfind and opam. Of course the library would need to have tests as

well, using ounit.

Note that getting an exception of:

Fatal error: exception Ctypes_static.IncompleteType

probably means that you forgot a ptr somewhere.

Another possible reason is IncompleteType, like

typedef struct {

char *ptr;

size_t asize, size;

} git_buf;

in which case you have to make an intermediatry struct with no tag

type git_buf

let git_buf =

let struc = structure "" in

let _ = field struc "ptr" (ptr char) in

let _ = field struc "asize" size_t in

let _ = field struc "size" size_t in

seal struc;

typedef

(struc : git_buf structure typ)

"git_buf"
