Importing language macros from visual studio?

[Paul McIntosh]

I am trying to reverse engineer a large C++ source directory. This source is designed to be compiled for multiple platforms, including Windows and can be built with Visual Studio (.

The source code uses language macros all over the place. I can see all of these in Visual Studio (under the class view for the project) and there are hundreds of them.

Is there a way to import these into EA(6.5) or using the MDG Integration, so that the reverse engineering will work automatically? If I have to add each manually then the task will be too big

Cheers,

Paul

EA can't get the macros from visual studio.  But, if you are able to generate them from Visual Studio somehow you could generate a file compatible with the import reference data handler.  (Try exporting language macros to see what's expected.)

The other good news is that EA largely doesn't care about the contents of method bodies.  In most examples I've seen this knocks out a significant proportion of the macros that are needed to be added to EA.
