generatorrunner: plugin-based binding source code generator

NAME

generatorrunner - plugin-based binding source code generator

SYNOPSIS

generatorrunner --generator-set=<plugin name> [options] header-file typesystem-file

DESCRIPTION

generatorrunner is a utility that uses the information taken from APIExtractor related to the provided C++ headers and typesystem files and execute generators using this information. Generators are plugins and you need to specify one using the --generator-set parameter. At the moment there are two generators available:

qtdoc - Generates Sphinx-based documentation for C++ libraries documented using qdoc3 documentation syntax, using the XML files created by the documentation tool (qdoc3). Can be called supplying --generator-set=qtdoc to generatorrunner or by calling the convenience executable docgenerator.

Other plugins can be used with generatorrunner, provided that they follow the generator front-end specifications, and can be written to generate code or documentation for any target languague you desire. For more information about the generator front-end architecture and current limitations, refer to http://www.pyside.org/home-binding.
