You might try this tool on our website:

However, it doesn't support fixed-point or structured registers, so it won't generate a complete API in C.

The rest of the API that uses FXP and structured registers would have to be added afterward.

As for the C++ generator that we currently use, only C++ and Java were ever supported, and Java support has been disabled ever since the WPILib HAL replaced the need for it.

I think you should either use the generator I linked above and manually add accessors for any missing-but-needed-by-you registers or you should write a C wrapper around the C++ chip object library that the HAL uses for at least the registers you care about.
