Also, on defines, we have something like: #define foo(a1, a2, a3, ...) \ /* some real implementation */ The prototype part (first line on this example) won't contain any macros, so no need to apply any regexes on it. With that, move the apply_transforms() logic to ensure that it will be called only on functions.
