Name
Preprocess::Ops - Preprocess ▷ and ▶ as method dispatch operators in ANSI-C.
Synopsis
Preprocess ▷ and ▶ as method dispatch operators in ANSI-C by translating:
p = node ▶ key("a");
to:
p = node->proto->key(node, "a");
and:
p = tree ▷ root;
to:
p = tree.proto->root(tree);
Occurrences of the $ character are replaced by the base name of the containing file with the first letter capitalized, so that
typedef struct $Node $Node;
in a file called tree.c becomes:
typedef struct TreeNode TreeNode;
Occurrences of:
newXXX
are replaced by:
newXXX(({struct XXX t = {proto: &ProtoTypes_$1}; t;}))
Occurrences of:
newXXX(a:1)
are replaced by:
newXXX(({struct XXX t = {a:1, proto: &ProtoTypes_$1}; t;}))
The prototype vectors are generated by examining all the methods defined in the c file. The prototype vectors are written to the specified h file so that they can be included in the c file for use via the ▷ and ▶ operators.
See: https://github.com/philiprbrenan/C/blob/master/c/z/xml/xml.c for a working example.
