cgen

Installation

Note: you need Haskell cabal for installing cgen.

Install from Hackage:

cabal update && cabal install cgen

Install from source:

$ git clone git://github.com/anttisalonen/cgen
$ cd cgen
$ cabal configure [--user] && cabal build && cabal install

Usage

1. Write an interface file for cgen
2. cgen -o c/output/dir --interface my-interface-file --include path/to/cpp/headers cpp-header1.h cpp-header2.h ...
3. Write an interface file for cgen-hs
4. cgen-hs -o hs/output/dir --interface my-cgen-hs-interface-file c/output/dir/*.h

Interface files for cgen

• section @exclude: List of functions to exclude - regular expressions allowed
• section @header: List of the header(s) the generated C library files should include
• section @rename: renamings of types in the generated C library. Format: oldtype|newtype
• section @exclude-class: List of classes to exclude - regular expressions allowed
• lines starting with # are comments

Example: @exclude ^_.* .*Listener # This is a comment. getErrorDescription getSetting @header OGRE/Ogre.h @rename uint|unsigned int ulong|unsigned long ushort|unsigned short # Superclass typedefs. TransformSpace|Node::TransformSpace DebugRenderable|Node::DebugRenderable String|char* @exclude-class .*Listener

Interface files for cgen-hs

• section @exclude: List of functions to exclude - regular expressions allowed
• section @default-in: optionally list char* for treating char* as a string parameter
• lines starting with # are comments

Example: @exclude Ogre_Vector3_ptr1 Ogre_Vector3_ptr .*Listener_.* @default-in char*
