cid-compiler

Details

cid-compiler 0.1 is code generators software developed by Markus W Weissmann.
cid-compiler is a language tool to easily create C code with object oriented features. It's compiler generates header (.h) files and implementations (.c) from a specification file (.i).



The generated C code consists of a struct, a opaque pointer to it (in the header file) and rewritten functions. The defined functions will get prefixed with the class name, they will also get a new first argument that is a pointer to the newly defined struct.

Functions that do not have a return value are considered constructors and will not get a new 1st argument but will automatically get a return value of pointer to the struct. The place between @class "name" and @attributes is e. g. for include statements and will make it into the header file.

To ease renaming the class, you can use the define CLASS, which will always be a define to a pointer of the new struct type.

Interface example

@class cstring
include < stdio.h >
include < string.h >
@attributes
char c;
@methods
new(char n) {
CLASS i = NEWCLASS;
i->c = strdup(n);
return i;
}
int length() {
return strlen(this->c);
}
@end

will yield a cstring.h file:
ifndef _CSTRING_H_
define _CSTRING_H_
include < stdio.h >
include < string.h >
typedef struct cstring cstring;
cstring cstring_new(char n);
int cstring_length(cstring this);
endif

and a cstring.c file:
include "cstring.h"
define CLASS cstring
define NEWCLASS malloc(sizeof(struct cstring));
define NEWCLASS_M malloc(sizeof(struct cstring));
define NEWCLASS_C calloc(1,sizeof(struct cstring));
struct cstring {
char c;
};
cstring cstring_new(char n) {
CLASS i = NEWCLASS;
i->c = strdup(n);
return i;
}
int cstring_length(cstring this) {
return strlen(this->c);
}

Issues:

The current compiler (v0.1) will reject quite some valid C code. Also the given error is not very helpful;
cid-compiler 0.1 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.

Downloading cid-compiler 0.1 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
