Hi, I'm trying to write a script to parse a .cpp file and begin to create a 'translational unit'. To do this i need to:
Go through the file and remove all 'C' comments as /* Comment 1*/ (can be on multiple lines) Go through and remove all 'C++' comments, anything between // and '\n' char. The start at the top, and work the way through, with the following valid terms: #include <filename> #include "filename" - copy the contents of filename to this point in the file and continue. #define X Y -Store the term X,Y in DefineDictionary, then later if X is encountered, substitute Y. namespace n { }; -a namespace, can contain classes, functions and sub-namespaces class c { }; -a class. If i were to process this in C++, i would create some form of statemachine, similar to a regex engine... I would just like some ideas on the easiest way to implment this in python!!
