C-Builder Project

Purpose

• To easily write C files

• It provides classes so you dont have to worry about maintaining indent, ending things with semi colong

• Make your C code standard if autogenerating using python script

• Can be used in following scenarios

  • Generating C code for your communication networks like CAN, LIN etc
  • Generation of code through other database networks

• It also includes a templating engine, that can produce a skeleton of python file that can generate the C code given as input

• So for example you want to start using this script for generating C code, you can follow the following steps

  • Generate a skeleton of the C code with example functions
  • Feed this as input to the parser as given below
  • This will generate a python file called <c_file_name>_gen.py
  • When this file is run it should produce a decent copy of the input file
  • Use this template python file either as a function to extend and connect the code to your database info

Installation

This package can be pip installed

pip install c_builder

Usage

• For templating

  run_c_builder -i <input_c_file.c>

• For just writing to a c file

• Then just use the file classes provided and check the documentation in the classes
• You can also check the generated template for pointers to usage
• Or check out the sample installed along with the library

Future

1. Add support for more C code
2. Support for doing standards check on the datatypes
3. More intelligent analysis
4. Support for C++
5. C++ style template classes for C
