Subject: Creating C++ constructor member init lists
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:08:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <u3a5438hd.fsf@raytheon.com> (raw)
I'd like to write some code in some language (preferably in Emacs
Lisp) to take a C++ class and add member variables to the
constructor's member initialization list in an automated
fashion. Given something like:
struct MyType
{
MyType();
// ...
private:
int i1_;
double d_;
T1 *pT1_;
T2 t2_;
};
I'd like the code to generate:
struct MyType
{
MyType() :
i1_(0),
d_(0.0),
pT1_(0),
t2_()
{
}
// ...
private:
int i1_;
double d_;
T1 *pT1_;
T2 t2_;
};
It would be easy to write something that just default-constructs the
members, but I'd like to make it smart enough to init bools to
"false", ints to "0", doubles to "0.0", etc. My questions are:
- Are there helper functions in c++-mode that can be used to
enumerate member variables, or make life easier?
- Is there code to do something like this already (I looked a bit and
didn't find exactly what I wanted)?
- Is GCC-XML worth looking into? I've looked at the output of a small
C++ class and could use Python to do what I want.
I haven't started the coding and wanted to get other people's
input. Thanks.
