Hi Friends,

I want to parse a header file and auto generate a .cpp file. Can any one please suggest me good link in doing so or provide me a sample python script which will automatically generate a .cpp file.

I planning to using VC++ pre-build event to call this python script.

Thank you very much in advance

You mean to say that just by scanning the .H files, Python script will generate CPP files????? Kindly elaborate your query.

Yeah, I have one header file and I want to auto generate .cpp and .h file with the information contained in the header file using some mechanism. So I thought it would be good I can do this using python script which can read the header file and create a all new .cpp and .h files.

What do you precisely mean?

It seems that you want to read an header file and automatically generate a cpp file that implements that functions and classes... the day that a similar script will born, all the software developers will have to search for a different work! ;)
