Is there a simple script to convert C++ enum to string?
- by Edu Felipe
Suppose we have some named enums:
enum MyEnum {
FOO,
BAR = 0x50
};
What I googled for is a script (any language) that scans all the headers in my project and generates a header with one function per enum.
char* enum_to_string(MyEnum t);
And a implementation with something like this:
char* enum_to_string(MyEnum t){
switch(t){
case FOO:
return "FOO";
case BAR:
return "BAR";
default:
return "INVALID ENUM";
}
}
The gotcha is really with typedefed enums, and unnamed C style enums. Does anybody know something for this?
EDIT: The solution should not modify my source, except for the generated functions. The enums are in an API, so using the solutions proposed until now is just not an option.
