Standard / Consistent Code Generators

[steve-hickman-epistimis]

com.epistimis.face.generator directory contains several _XXX_FunctionGenerator.xtend classes. Each of these generates function stubs from FACE PortableComponent and PlatformSpecificComponent definitions. There is a base class CommonFunctionGenerator.xtend that can be used for languages that are similar to C++/Java in how they declare functions/methods.

All of the code generated from these should be consistent with the intent - which can be seen from the IDL bindings (issue #10 ).

Note that code generators should use the same approach as XText: The stub should be generated with an embedded call to a derived class method that needs to be implemented. That derived class method will contain all the manual code. The base class method will always be generated & overwritten. No manual modifications should be made to the base class method.

We can also use code signing to ensure that generated code is not modified.
