CxxHeader2Py is a powerful Python tool designed to streamline the process of parsing C/C++ header files and extracting valuable information such as defines, enums, structs, and variables. By harnessing the capabilities of CxxHeader2Py, developers can effortlessly convert this extracted data into Python objects, saving time and effort in the translation process.
The CxxHeader2Py tool accepts the following arguments:
-a : Specifies the path to the directory where C/C++ header files are located. CxxHeader2Py will scan the specified directory and its subdirectories to extract the necessary information.
-f : Specifies the path to a specific C/C++ header file. CxxHeader2Py will parse the specified file to extract the required information.
-c : Provides compiler options as common defines. These options are used during the parsing process to ensure accurate extraction of information from the header files.
--version: set the version of the output python file.
-o : Specifies the path and filename of the output Python file. CxxHeader2Py will generate the Python code with equivalent objects and save it to the specified file.
Example Usage:
CxxHeader2Py -a /path/to/headers/ -c "-DOPTION1 -I/path/to/includes" -o output.py --version=1
CxxHeader2Py -f /path/to/header/file.h -c "-DOPTION2 -I/path/to/includes" -o output.py
CxxHeader2Py --version=2
