This is peripherally related to your question, but: when I'm doing
analysis of C, I usually connect Python to Exuberent Ctags
<http://ctags.sf.net/> via a pipe, rather than trying to parse C with
regexps. (Actually, I usually get ctags to do the hard stuff and then do
the easy stuff in Python with regexps). I'd recommend this method as a
workaround.  ctags -x is a useful option, as it produces nicely
delimited output.
