code-generation

I have a project under CMake with some files generated with python generator from XML files. I cannot specify all files generated by this generator in CMakeLists.txt so I use file globbing for this. The problem is that when I update my XML files or generator sources (which are in the same repository) I would like to have my build system reconfigured so changed files are taken into account when rebuilding the code (via make for example). Is it possible to make CMake treat some files like it treats CMakeLists.txt files and to make it regenerate build system when those file are changed? Yes, you

We have a requirement where we need to generate delegate types on the fly. We need to generate delegates given the input parameters and the output. Both input and output would be simple types. eg, we need to generate int Del(int, int, int, string) and int Del2(int, int, string, int) Any pointers on how to get started on this would be very helpful. We need to parse formulate which are represented as xml. For example, we represent (a + b) as <ADD> <param type="decimal">A</parameter> <param type="decimal">B</parameter> </ADD> We now want this to be exposed as Func<decimal, decimal, decimal> . We

I am kind of blocked with the following ( macro annotation ) situation. Suppose I have an annotation called @factory which aims to generate an apply method for the annotated trait in the corresponding companion object. For instance, given the trait A : @factory trait A { val a1: Int } the expected code to be generated is the following one: object A extends Factory[A] { def apply(_a1: Int) = new A { val a1 = _a1 } } Now suppose we have a trait B which inherits from A : @factory trait B extends A { val b1: String } which is supposed to generate: object B extends Factory[B] { def apply(_a1: Int,

Is there any way that I can change how a Literal of a code snippet renders when it is used in the code that the snippet generates? Specifically I'd like to know if I can have a literal called say, $PropertyName$ and then get the snippet engine to render "_$PropertyName$ where the first character is made lowercase. I can't afford R#. Please help :) Caerbanog Unfortunately there seems to be no way. Snippets offer amazingly limited support for transformation functions as you can see. You have to stick with the VS standard solution, which is to write two literals: one for the property name, and

I would like to add attributes to Linq 2 Sql classes properties. Such as this Column is browsable in the UI or ReadOnly in the UI and so far. I've thought about using templates, anybody knows how to use it? or something different? Generally speaking, would do you do to address this issue with classes being code-generated? As requested, here's an approach using a CustomTypeDescriptor to edit the attributes at run-time; the example here is win-forms, but it should be pretty simple to swap it into WPF to see if it works... using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System

I have found many references explaining how to programmatically compile a Java class using the JavaCompiler class: JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler(); int result = compiler.run(null, null, null, "a_file_name"); However, I would like to know if there is an open source library that let me compile source code generated programmatically (therefore without a src file being involved) and generate some byte code in an output stream (without generating a class file in the file system). For example, I am looking for being able to write something like this: InputStream input =

I am writing an interpreter in Java for a domain-specific language with some scripting capabilities. I have already implemented a parser and now need to do a back end. To this end I am considering either to write my own interpreter (either working with abstract syntax trees or with some custom bytecodes) or target JVM (emit and execute Java bytecode at runtime). Could someone with more experience in this area say how feasible is the approach of targeting JVM and what libraries would you recommend to use for emitting Java bytecode? Here is a working "hello world" made with ObjectWeb ASM (a
