cppgen

Generates C/C++ definition files from header files.

Usage

usage: cppgen [-h] [--cpp CPP] [--ipp IPP] [-c {default,gnu,google}]
              [-i {convention,space,tab}] [-t TABSIZE] [--no-todo]
              FILE [FILE ...]

Generate definitions from headers

positional arguments:
  FILE                  A header file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --cpp CPP             Suffix for files containing function definitions
                        (default: .cpp)
  --ipp IPP             Suffix for files containing inline/template function
                        definitions (default: .ipp)
  -c {default,gnu,google}, --convention {default,gnu,google}
                        Specify coding convention (default: default)
  -i {convention,space,tab}, --indent {convention,space,tab}
                        Specify indentation character (default: follow
                        convention)
  -t TABSIZE, --tabsize TABSIZE
                        Specify tab size (default: 0; follow convention)
  --no-todo             Do not insert todo comments

Example

Header:

// example.hpp
namespace example {
    class Test {
    public:
        Test ();
        ~Test ();
        int get ();
    };
}

Run:

$ cppgen example.hpp
Generate: example.hpp -> example.cpp

And result (example.cpp):

#include "example.hpp"

namespace example {

Test::Test () {
    // TODO
}

Test::~Test () {
    // TODO
}

int Test::get () {
    // TODO
}

} /* namespace example */

hppgen

Generates a header file.

Usage

usage: hppgen [-h] [--suffix SUFFIX] [-f {snake_case,hyphen-case,lowercase,UPPERCASE,camelCase,PascalCase,CONST_CASE}] [-c {default,gnu,google}] [-i {convention,space,tab}] [-t TABSIZE] [TYPE] NAME

Generate a header

positional arguments:
  TYPE                  Type: class, struct, or enum (default: class)
  NAME                  (<NAMESPACE>::)*<NAME>

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --suffix SUFFIX       Suffix for the generated header file (default: .hpp)
  -f {snake_case,hyphen-case,lowercase,UPPERCASE,camelCase,PascalCase,CONST_CASE}, --file-convention {snake_case,hyphen-case,lowercase,UPPERCASE,camelCase,PascalCase,CONST_CASE}
                        Specify file naming convention (default: snake_case)
  -c {default,gnu,google}, --convention {default,gnu,google}
                        Specify coding convention (default: default)
  -i {convention,space,tab}, --indent {convention,space,tab}
                        Specify indentation character (default: follow convention)
  -t TABSIZE, --tabsize TABSIZE
                        Specify tab size (default: 0; follow convention)

Example

Run:

$ hppgen foo::Bar
Generate: foo/bar.hpp

And result (foo/bar.hpp):

#ifndef FOO_BAR_HPP
#define FOO_BAR_HPP

namespace foo {

class Bar {
public:
    Bar ();
    ~Bar ();
    Bar (const Bar &other);
    Bar (Bar &&other);

private:
};

} /* namespace foo */

#endif /* FOO_BAR_HPP */
