[pypy-issue] [issue1698] cffi.FFI.cdef fails when source string contains $ symbols

[dmlockhart]

New submission from dmlockhart <dmlockhart+pypy at gmail.com>:

I get the following error when trying to parse C source containing $ symbols:

E       CDefError: cannot parse "unsigned int   _top_in_$000_msg,"
E       :6:25: Illegal character '$'

This works using cffi-0.8.1 in CPython, so I suspect newer version of 
pycparser/cffi fix this issue.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to 
force pypy to use newer versions of cffi since it is integrated in lib_pypy.
