GPTrixie (The Great and Powerful Trixie)

A tool to generate NativeCall code from C headers

You will need gccxml and gcc/g++ 4.9 or castxml (it's based on clang/llvm) By default GPTrixie use GCCXML. Beware some distributions provide gccxml as castxml and it's bad, you will need to change the code to use gccxml.real or make sure the gccxml executable is gccxml if you want to use gccxml. To use castxml you will need to use the --castxml option and give it the standard option castxml need to use (it's the --std option of castxml, c99 or c11 should work fine on recent version)

Usage

Usage: gptrixie [--all] [--define-enum=<Str>] [--ooc=<Str>] [--enums] [--functions] [--structs] [--externs] [--list-types] <header-file> [<gccoptions> ...]

gccoptions can be stuff like -I /another/include/path

The --define-enum option allows you to generate an enum from #define, it takes a starting string like MSQL_TYPE

The --list-types option is mainly for debugging, it lists all the C types found.

You can do a 'dry' run without options, to have an idea of the lenght of the output. It can be useful to know what to expect. This is an example with one of a libxml2 headers:

Number of things founds
-Types: 972
-Structures: 80
-Unions: 12
-Enums: 31
-Functions: 1068
-Variables: 45
-Files: 52

Most GPTrixie messages are in stderr, allowing you to redirect the generated perl6 code into a file.

More options and other specific generators will come in the future.

Limitations

The default generator is not smart. It can't really make sense of how the type is used; some arbitrary choice is made for you. You will probably have to adjust the generated code.

char * and const char * become Str

void * and const void * are Pointer

Typedef defined on top of a fundamental C type are left as is. You will have to complete the missing definition for the type. This choice is based on stuff like sqlite_int64 where is up to you to either replace with int64 or define a constant sqlite_int64 = int64

C++ Support

C++ support is planned
