digitalmars.D.announce - (Oh My) Gentool 0.4.0 released

reply evilrat <evilrat666 gmail.com> writes:


It is my fancy tool to generate extern(C++) stuff quicker, it 
takes regular compiler flags that you usually pass to clang and 
translates C/C++ code to D.

This release has one new feature: support pragma mangle on 
aggregates (class, struct, etc...).

Also a lot of work was put into template support, but it is still 
has lots of unhandled cases, so do not expect it will translate 
STL or Boost without need of manual fixes.

+1 How did you parse C++ code which seems overkill to do alone. Did you enact clang for?

Yes, it's all clang under the hood. But it's not just clang tooling that uses pre-made Tool class that has to be invoked as part of clang itself using special flag. Instead it creates compiler instance and runs regular compilation pass in memory extracting declarations recursively (as part of older pipeline, can be done to some extent using C API with cursors), and then it converts C++ AST to D source code with minimal AST manipulation (can't be done with C API), though I'm looking into AST-to-AST translation instead and then using D compiler frontend to emit source code for better result.

Nice work. Is there a docker somewhere in order to test it?

It's got a dockerfile few days back, though I haven't tried it myself yet. (SSH port at end is for IDE's) https://github.com/Superbelko/ohmygentool/blob/master/Dockerfile.local-dev It detects standard library includes automatically, but if you're going to cross compile you'll have to tell it where to look, also probably need to pass proper target triple.
