Using templates to generate C

[cokecan]

Hi

a> is it possible to generate C code by suitably modifying templates?

b> if it is possible, is round trip engineering still possible?

Hello,

I wrote a feature request in the other forum, to add C Code Generation to EA.
It is a little bit difficult, as there is no standart way to map object orientated features to C code.

I have got no response so far.

There is only one commercial tool I know of, that has this feature:

http://www.methodpark.de/en/products/oo2c/

(And some opensource projects as well, e.g.
http://dia2code.sourceforge.net/)

It should be possible to write a code generator for C code using EA templates, but without round-trip engeneering.

Regards:

Uwe Fechner

p.s.
I use EA a lot for the object oriented design of C code,
but do the code generation manually.
