# cppgen
A command-line utility to generate boilerplate C/C++ code.
```
pip install --user cppgen
```
## `cppgen`
Generates C/C++ definition files from header files.
### Usage
```
usage: cppgen [-h] [--cpp CPP] [--ipp IPP] [-c {default,gnu,google}]
[-i {convention,space,tab}] [-t TABSIZE] [--no-todo]
FILE [FILE ...]
Generate definitions from headers
positional arguments:
FILE A header file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--cpp CPP Suffix for files containing function definitions
(default: .cpp)
--ipp IPP Suffix for files containing inline/template function
definitions (default: .ipp)
-c {default,gnu,google}, --convention {default,gnu,google}
Specify coding convention (default: default)
-i {convention,space,tab}, --indent {convention,space,tab}
Specify indentation character (default: follow
convention)
-t TABSIZE, --tabsize TABSIZE
Specify tab size (default: 0; follow convention)
--no-todo Do not insert todo comments
```
### Example
Header:
```cpp
// example.hpp
namespace example {
class Test {
public:
Test ();
~Test ();
int get ();
};
}
```
Run:
```sh
$ cppgen example.hpp
Generate: example.hpp -> example.cpp
```
And result (`example.cpp`):
```cpp
#include "example.hpp"
namespace example {
Test::Test () {
// TODO
}
Test::~Test () {
// TODO
}
int Test::get () {
// TODO
}
} /* namespace example */
```
## `hppgen`
Generates a header file.
### Usage
```
usage: hppgen [-h] [--suffix SUFFIX] [-f {snake_case,hyphen-case,lowercase,UPPERCASE,camelCase,PascalCase,CONST_CASE}] [-c {default,gnu,google}] [-i {convention,space,tab}] [-t TABSIZE] [TYPE] NAME
Generate a header
positional arguments:
TYPE Type: class, struct, or enum (default: class)
NAME (<NAMESPACE>::)*<NAME>
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--suffix SUFFIX Suffix for the generated header file (default: .hpp)
-f {snake_case,hyphen-case,lowercase,UPPERCASE,camelCase,PascalCase,CONST_CASE}, --file-convention {snake_case,hyphen-case,lowercase,UPPERCASE,camelCase,PascalCase,CONST_CASE}
Specify file naming convention (default: snake_case)
-c {default,gnu,google}, --convention {default,gnu,google}
Specify coding convention (default: default)
-i {convention,space,tab}, --indent {convention,space,tab}
Specify indentation character (default: follow convention)
-t TABSIZE, --tabsize TABSIZE
Specify tab size (default: 0; follow convention)
```
### Example
Run:
```sh
$ hppgen foo::Bar
Generate: foo/bar.hpp
```
And result (`foo/bar.hpp`):
```cpp
#ifndef FOO_BAR_HPP
#define FOO_BAR_HPP
namespace foo {
class Bar {
public:
Bar ();
~Bar ();
Bar (const Bar &other);
Bar (Bar &&other);
private:
};
} /* namespace foo */
#endif /* FOO_BAR_HPP */
```
