The symbol `v' does not fit here

c2hs: C header contains errors:

cbits/../cbits/simd.h:6: (column 29) [ERROR]  >>> Syntax error !
  The symbol `v' does not fit here.

Only reproducible in Linux CI for me. It builds locally on MacOS.

Any chance we could have a better error message?

Sorry this took me a while to get to this. Last week was Thanksgiving and today was the first time I was able to work on the this issue.

In any case I've was able to get c2hs generate bindings correctly in your Docker container, not by using your patch, but by adding stdint.h to simd.h since this is where uint64_t is defined. I do run into other compilatiton errors but they don't seem c2hs related and probably do require the patch to popcnt64.
