ANN: Generator in DevKit

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hi,

I have put the ObjectiveC generator into the DevelopmentKit framework. It is 
slightly modified version and still it is a prototype. It reads attributes from 
instance variable comments.

DESCRIPTION

Attributes are:
    noarchive - object will NOT be archived/unarchived
    readonly - setter method will NOT be generated
    object - instance variable is an object (hint for generator, not needed
             for 'id' type)
    public - accessor methods will be generated
By default a variable is private (without accessors) and archived according to 
base type.
Attributes are written inside comments after last pipe '|' character, so there 
is space for ivar description:

@interface MyClass
    int myInteger; /** This is my integer description | public readonly */
    NSString *name; /** This is my name | public object */
@end

Now it uses template merger, so you can write any template you like for the 
generated output. Sample template is attached.

WHERE TO GET IT?

From CVS here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/develkit/
Or download .tar.gz from here:

INSTALLATION
    > make
    > make install

TESTING
Go to the Testing directory, run: stexec generate.st. It should takes the 
included Test.h file as input and should create Test-generated.m as output. 
Look at gen_template.m for the mentioned template.

Pathes/suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy,
