tbing

Templates-based bindings and interfaces generator for C++

Info

tbing uses libclang to extract classes and functions information and then uses pystache (mustache) to generate files. This project has been initially made to generate the bindings for the gengine project.

Example

Create and fill the rules.json file:

[
    {
        "root": "mydirectory",
        "include-relative": ".",
        "include-dirs": [
        ],
        "files": [
            "*.h"
        ],
        "excluded-files": [
        ],
        "output":[
            {
                "template": "mytemplate.mustache",
                "rule": "single-file",
                "path": "generated.cpp"
            }
        ],
        "excluded-types":[
        ]
    }
]

Fill the template file, g.e for emscripten:

#include <emscripten/bind.h>
using namespace emscripten;

EMSCRIPTEN_BINDINGS(my_module) {
    {{#classes}}
    class_<{{class_name}}>("{{class_name}}")
        {{#methods}}
        .function("{{method_other_name_camel_case}}", static_cast<{{{result_full_type}}} ({{class_name}}::*)({{#arguments}}{{{argument_full_type}}}{{comma}}{{/arguments}}){{method_const_qualifier}}>(&{{class_name}}::{{method_name}}))
        {{/methods}}
        ;
    {{/classes}}
}

Run the tbing application:

tbing your_directory

This will generate the 'generated.cpp' file as this:

#include <emscripten/bind.h>
using namespace emscripten;

EMSCRIPTEN_BINDINGS(my_module) {
    class_<YourClass>("YourClass")
        .function("aMethod", &YourClass::aMethod)
        .function("anotherMethod", &YourClass::anotherMethod)
        ;
}
