Converting C++ data members to a ctor init list

Converting C++ data members to a ctor init list

[Sarir Khamsi]

I have some elisp code that converts a C++ data member declaration to a
constructor's member initialization list. It kinda brute force so I'm
looking for suggestions on making it "more better" or more lispy. :-)

(defun sk-convert-to-ctor-init-list ()
  "Convert a C++ member variable declaration to a ctor init list line.
To use this, copy all member variable declarations into the constructor's member initialization list area and execute this command on each line. At the end of this command, it moves you to the next line setting it up for a key binding."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (save-match-data
      (comment-kill 1) ; delete the comment on the line, if there is one
      (previous-line)
      (delete-blank-lines)
      (end-of-line)
      (delete-horizontal-space)     ; delete whitespace at end of line
      (backward-delete-char-untabify 1) ; delete the ";"
      (insert "(),")
      (search-backward-regexp "[\t *&]") ; look for whitespace, "&" or "*"
      (let ((beg (+ 1 (point)))) ; set start 1 char forward
        (beginning-of-line)
        (delete-region beg (point)))
      (c-indent-command)))
  (next-line 1))

Comments are welcome. Thanks.
