CodeGen_PECL

Tool to generate PECL extensions from an XML description

CodeGen_PECL (formerly known as PECL_Gen) is a pure PHP replacement for the ext_skel shell script that comes with the PHP 4 source. It reads in configuration options, function prototypes and code fragments from an XML description file and generates a complete ready-to-compile PECL extension. hholzgra Hartmut Holzgraefe hartmut@php.net lead rasmus Rasmus Lerdorf rasmus@php.net contributor pajoye Pierre-Alain Joye pajoye@php.net helper hartmann Johann Peter Hartmann hartmann@php.net helper 0.9.0 2005-08-11 PHP beta Milestone 0.9 ------------- - copy <changelog> to generated package.xml - done - rewrite the function prototype parser - object type specification (as in resources) - done - default values - done - 'void' treatment - done - '...' not handled - done - array() as default value - done - code generation for 'pass by refecence' - for zval based types yet - '...' code generation - if first parameter yet FREE_RESOURCE macro - done allow defined PHP constants as default value - done <define> tag -> #define + <constant>? - done allow for embedded base64 or uu encoded logo specs - done changeable function prefix? - done trick parser to verbatim pass on docbook contentent - done add configure compile test for <resource> -done to check whether a given payload is a valid type?
