How can I generate a binding for winuser.h?

Hello,

The error you're seeing is a parsing error in clang, which usually means 
there is an issue with the provided headers.

Typically you can not include windows API headers directly, and you have 
to include Windows.h instead. If I look at some of the functions in 
winuser.h [1], that also seems to be the case for that header.

Filtering can be used to extract just the items in winuser.h. For 
example, in powershell:

# find windows SDK header files, and create an array with -I arguments 
for jextract
     > $WinSDK = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows 
Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0'
     > $WinIncludes = '-I', "$WinSDK\um", '-I', "$WinSDK\winrt", '-I', 
"$WinSDK\ucrt", '-I', "$WinSDK\shared"

     # dump all the includes in Windows.h to 'inc.conf'
     > jextract --dump-includes inc.conf $WinIncludes"$WinSDK\um\Windows.h"

     # filter 'inc.conf' for the entries found in 'winuser.h', write the 
result to 'inc_winuser.conf'
     > sls -Path inc.conf -Pattern 'winuser.h' | %{$_.Line} > 
inc_winuser.conf

     # extract with the filtered includes
     > jextract --output out --source -t org.jextract 
$WinIncludes'@inc_winuser.conf' "$WinSDK\um\Windows.h"

HTH,
