Customize the code generation template

[pfsarli]

I wish to customize the code generation template in the following manner:
1. I am generating C++ code.
2. I need to modify the #include "classname.h" construct to look like this: #include "packagename/classname.h"

I spent several hours today struggling to achieve this result. I did a lot of experimenting with the code generation templates. My guess is that if I could edit the %fileImports% template I would succeed. I need some help on this because I found no way to do this.
Thanks in advance !

You can't directly edit the %fileImports% macro, but you could replace it with a list over "Import" objects.  I think the PHP templates have an example of this that would be useful for you.

Hi Simon:

Thank you for the tip. I did try it out but unfortunately it didn´t work at all. I really do need a way change the way EA generates include path information in my C++ source code. Where could I go from here?

You can do it by doing what I said, I have done it before.

Import template

Code: [Select]

$file = %importRelativeFilePath%
%if $file == ""%
$file = %importClassName ? value% + %genOptCPPHeaderExtension%
%endIf%
%if $file == "" or importInFile=="T" or $file==fileName%
%endTemplate%

#include %qt%$file%qt%
Import Section template

Code: [Select]

$imports = %classImports% + "\n"
$imports += %list="Import" @separator="\n" importFromAggregation=="T" or importFromAssociation=="T" or importFromAtt=="T" or importFromDependency=="T" or importFromGeneralization=="T" or importFromMeth=="T" or importFromParam=="T" or importFromRealization=="T"%
%REMOVE_DUPLICATES($imports, "\n")%
Is there anything wrong with that?

Hi Simon,

I did manage to advance a good distance with your help. Once again, thanks a lot.

What I am trying to do right now is to perform a simple substitution; in the generated source path I wish to substitute all occurrences of the \ char with a / char because I am generating source code to be compiled  on a LINUX environment.
I tried to use the %REPLACE( ... )% template but to no avail...
Below is the code that I have been struggling with:


$file = %importRelativeFilePath%
%if $file == ""%
$file = %importClassName ? value% + %genOptCPPHeaderExtension%
%endIf%
%if $file == "" or importInFile=="T" or $file==fileName%
%endTemplate%

$output = %qt% + %REPLACE( $file, "\\", "/" )% + %qt%

#include $output

For some unknown reason (at least to me, sorry) this simply doesn´t work. What now?
