C/C++ Module Creator
An extension of quickly creating templated C/C++ modules to reduce amount of manual work.
Requirements
Repository has to have templates or .templates directory somewhere in the target repository (depth < 10 by default).
Template directory structure, the names are static as of now.
(templates | .templates) /
├── template.header.hpp
├── template.src.cpp
├── template.test.cpp
├── template.CMakeLists.txt
└── template.test.CMakeLists.txt
Module structure
Default module structure is as follows
<module-name>/
├── include/
│ └── <module-name>.hpp (template: template.header.hpp)
│
├── src/
│ └── <module-name>.cpp (template: template.src.cpp)
│
├── tests/
│ ├── CMakeLists.txt (template: template.test.CMakeLists.txt)
│ └── test_<module-name>.cpp (template: template.test.cpp)
│
└── CMakeLists.txt (template: template.CMakeLists.txt)
Patterns replaced
Following pattern pairs are used for replacing
| Pattern |
Replacement |
| @MODULE_NAME@ |
Inputted module name in whatever case and shape was used |
| @TARGET_NAME@ |
Inputted module name in lowercase |
| @NAMESPACE@ |
Inputted module name in lowercase with dashes replaced with underscores |
| @CAPITALIZE@ |
Inputted module name capitalized with underscores and dashes replaced with spacing |
| @PARENT@ |
Target directory name |
TODOs
- User configurability
- Template file naming mapped to a directory structure
- Where to look for things, instead of recursive search
- The depth of looking recursively
- Custom find+replace options
- Sniffing parent CMakeLists.txt to add_subdirectory call there
