A configurable c/c++ code generator that can be used as an external plugin with all IDE's that support this feature: QT Creator, Visual Studio, etc.
The generator parses a selected source file, creating hooks within the file according to its contents, then by a set of configured instructions, code can be automatically generated at the location specified by the hooks.
Libclang is used to parse the c++ code and create the hooks, while a javascript file is used to configure the generator statements, which can then be accessed by a simple user interface written in qml.
Given a file csaexception.h :
#include <exception>
#include <string>
namespace csa{
class CSAException : public std::exception{
public:
CSAException( const std::string& message );
virtual ~CSAException() throw() {}
virtual const std::string& message() const throw();
private:
std::string m_message;
};
inline const std::string& CSAException::message() const throw(){
return m_message;
}
}// namespaceWithin c++ snippet assist, the following hooks will be created :
// HOOK_FILE_BEGIN
#include <exception>
#include <string>
namespace csa{
// HOOK_NAMESPACE_BEGIN
class CSAException : public std::exception{
// HOOK_CLASS_BEGIN
public:
CSAException( const std::string& message );
virtual ~CSAException() throw() {}
virtual const std::string& message() const throw();
// HOOK_CLASS_PUBLIC_SECTION
// HOOK_CLASS_PROTECTED_SECTION
private:
std::string m_message;
// HOOK_CLASS_PRIVATE_SECTION
// HOOK_CLASS_END
};
// HOOK_CLASS_IMPLEMENTATION
inline const std::string& CSAException::message() const throw(){
return m_message;
}
// HOOK_NAMESPACE_END
}// namespace
// HOOK_FILE_ENDThe javascript file can be configured to generate code for files, namespaces and classes. We can configure a function that will generate a getter method for a sent property to its argument list :
var csaclass = {
'add' : {
'getter' : function(options){
// options is an array of parameters
var varName = options[0];
var varType = options[1];
codeBase.insert({
// Generate code at the public section of the class
'PUBLIC' : varType + ' ' + varName + '() const{ return m_' + varName + ';}\n'
});
}
}
}
