Languages with raw pointers will throw the CTL for a loop. I dont believe there is a reliable method of determining all variations of function pointers destination functions in C.

This makes the idea of AST parsing in C quite a headache and requires mostly manual adjustment to get it to work. As you scale this up to something like the Linux kernel (my area of interest) things become considerably more sticky.
