code generation templates: C++ style comments

[M Maher]

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to setup "real" c++ comment, eg:

//-------------------------------------
//  blah blah blah...
//-------------------------------------

...in preference to the default C++ style comments which are C-style, eg:

/**
 * blah blah blah...
 */

cheers

You can change the templates, there are a couple of different functions you can use. Look for WRAP_LINES from memory.

Adding the dashes will cause problems for round-trip though as it can't be distinguished from the actual note.

WRAP_LINES() is a good reference: thanks!

However, I have one more issue whilst implementing this: where exactly can you use this in place of CSTYLE_COMMENT(). Looking at ClassNotes/OperationNotes/etc:

%if genOptGenComments != "T" or genOptCPPGenMethodNotesInHeader != "T"%
%endTemplate%

%PI=""%
$wrapLen = %genOptWrapComment%
$style = %genOptCPPCommentStyle%

%if $style == "XML.NET"%
%XML_COMMENT($wrapLen)%
%elseIf $style == "JavaDoc"%
%JAVADOC_COMMENT($wrapLen)%
%else%
%CSTYLE_COMMENT($wrapLen)%
%endIf%

I can't see anywhere in here which actually extracts the notes: just seems to set the width.

Any ideas?

XML_COMMENT, JAVADOC_COMMENT and CSTYLE_COMMENT automatically use the notes of the current context.

WRAP_LINES is a little more flexible. Just pass it the value of classNotes, opNotes etc. depending on the template you are in.

Hello!
How can I set up what kind of comments are imported to EA as notes from source code?
Currently doxygen style comments from C++ are not imported for eg class fields/methods as notes.
