koml2struct

krisvers' (not-so) Obvious Markup Language C struct code-gen tool written in C99.

Dependencies

A functional libc and compiler that at least supports C99

Usage (in CLI)

koml2struct ./test.koml

or

koml2struct ./test.koml > test.h

KOML example

test.koml

# comment
# `i` specifies `int` type
i integer = 2
# `f` specifies `float` type
f floating = 6.2
# `s` specifies `char *` type
s string = "hello, world"
# `b` specifies a bool, `char` type
b boolean = t

# a header is directly proportional to a struct
# brackets (`[`, `]`) start and end a "header" name
# if the "header" is empty, the struct is anonymous
