q: code that generates printf() statement to dump C struct contents

Hi,
I am sure, others also have had a need for this.
I am examining a C API for the first time, writing small test programs
and dumping the contents of C structs.
What I am looking for is a code fragment or tool that will take a C
struct declaration as input, maybe even complete header files with
typedefs and the like and generates a dump_struct function that takes
a pointer to the actual struct as input and then dumps or displays the
structs' contents via printf(), leaving the comments from the header
file intact.
any hints?
Joachim
generated code would be something like:
void dump_struct_xx( struct xx *p )
{
printf("struct xx {\n\\
int xy=%d; /* comment from the header file */\n\\
}", p->xy );
}
.
