LGTM, but see below:

Here, I would either use non-group matches or use "_" for the vars
we're just ignoring.

IMO, the cleanest approach without using finditer would be:


	struct_members = KernRe("("			# 0: the entire pattern
				r'(struct|union)' 	# 1: declaration type
				r'([^\{\};]+)'
				r'(?:\{)'
				r'(?:[^\{\}]*)'		# 2: Contents of declaration
				r'(?:\})'
				r'([^\{\};]*)(;)')	# 3: Remaining stuff after declaration
				")")

	tuples = struct_members.findall(members)
	while tuples:
            for t in tuples:
		oldmember, maintype, content, s_ids = match.groups()

I wonder if using finditer would avoid the first while - I guess not
as the logic here picks multi-level members - but if it matches, then
It would be a nice improvement to use it.

Anyway, such cleanup can be done later. So:
