I've got this task that requires me to generate some basic C code using a software written in C#.
The generated code should be based on some input files I provide to my software, we'll call it btOS for easy of communication.
So when starting btOS I give it as input file1, config.xml. When I hit run it should output a file.c that contains some basic structures and/or methods based on what the input files contain.
Is there any elegant way to do this ? Maybe some already generated templates or methods or stuff like that ? The only way I could think of handling this was creating specific strings in C# and outputting them to a C file.
L.E.: It seems that somehow my question was not clear enough. I assume the fault of including C++ in the title, I have remove it but I don't see how that is relevant because the question was very simple.
Anyway, to make it more clear. All i need to do is read some config files (their content is irrelevant, all they contain are some variables that will be used to generate some function templates, which will mostly impact the name of the function) - and write an output file with the extension .C (as in Main.c) that will contain those templates I generated.
So, again, the question: Are there any "elegant" and maybe somehow "professional" ways to do this other than using custom generated strings within the code that I will write to the file ? Right now the only way I see fit to do this without too much hassle is using some template text files with a naming convention defined by me(e.g. function_variableName{...}) where I just change the [variableName] text with whatever I need to to be there and "Abracadabra" I have a function that I will write to the file.
Now as Soonts suggested please try and be helpful, read multiple times if you don't clearly understand or maybe even don't bother - let somebody who is interested in this topic, tries to help or gain some new knowledge before flagging it.
Double Cheers.
