Does anyone out there have function prototypes for Xt functions where
the arguments are declared?  I'm using C++ with Xt and therefore must
have prototypes with arguments.  Empty ()'s are not good enough.  If
someone has a script which generates prototypes from C source, that'd
be great also.

Thanks to some files which came with InterViews on the X11R3 tape, I've
got what I need for Xlib functions.

By the way, it'd be nice if the Xlib, Xt and Xaw function prototypes came
both as they are now - empty ()'s - and as ANSI C prototypes with arguments
declared.  A fairly large number of programmer errors discussed in this
mailing list are due to argument mismatches, which would all disappear if
people used ANSI C compilers and we had function prototypes with arguments.

Function declarations would look like:

#ifdef __STDC__

void XtAddCallback( Widget, String, XtCallbackProc, caddr_t);

#else

void XtAddCallback();

#endif /* __STDC__ */
