einsteinify

A pip moudle that transforms every C #include absolute path to a given directory to a relative path to the .c or .h file

Install

You can install einsteinify with pip:

$ pip install einsteinify

Project purpose

It may happen that you have a folder with .c and .h files where some the #include "*.h" are global paths to respect to the root folder. This module makes them relative paths to the root folder.

Usage (global module)

$ einsteinify path/to/root/folder

Usage (local module)

from einsteinify import einsteinify

PATH = 'path/to/root/folder'

einsteinify(PATH)

Result

Suppose that you have a directory like this:

root
 ├── main.h
 ├── other.h
 ├─> services
 │   └── services.h
 └─> utils
     └── utils.h

Where initially:

main.h

#include "root/other.h"
#include "root/services/services.h"

other.h

#include "root/utils/utils.h"

utils.h

#include "root/other.h"
#include "root/services/services.h"

After running einsteinify the includes would be:

main.h

#include "./other.h"
#include "./services/services.h"

other.h

#include "./utils/utils.h"

utils.h

#include "../other.h"
#include "../services.h"
