I am trying to creat AST usinfg pyCparser, The following error printed:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ParseError("%s: %s" % (coord, msg))
ParseError: Objectffly\SerDb.i:43:18: before: __loff_t
What causes the above issue? How Can I handle it? Any suggestions how can I debug it, and find out what's going on?
From pyCparser git FAQ:
C code almost always #includes various header files from the standard C library, like stdio.h. While (with some effort) pycparser can be made to parse the standard headers from any C compiler, it's much simpler to use the provided "fake" standard includes in utils/fake_libc_include. These are standard C header files that contain only the bare necessities to allow valid parsing of the files that use them.
To solve the issue I have successfully used the method described here.
