Hi,

  Fixing defstruct parsing sounds like a good idea.  I'm not surprised
it was broken as I probably never tested it.

  C has something like an alias that you can declare in a "typedef",
and it is a special kind of type which is the type it is aliasing
through the "parent" slot.

  A function being aliased will not always be loaded into Emacs for
the finding so it may be unreliable to attempt any extra extraction.
It may be best to postpone such searching till later for other reasons
as well.  For example with these definitions:

Emacs Lisp:
  (defalias 'newsym 'oldsym "why an alias")
  (defalias 'newsym (lambda (a) "Say what?") "What say?")

C:
