This utility generates source code from XML files. Its aim is to
|
||
|
|
convert XML files (dynamic data) to C++ files (static structures) that
|
||
|
|
can be checked in compile-time. There are three areas of interest:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. To create `ui::Widget`s subclasses from
|
||
|
|
[data/widgets/*.xml](../../data/widgets/)
|
||
|
|
files. In this way we can create wrappers that can access to each
|
||
|
|
XML file directly in a easier way (e.g. one member for each widget
|
||
|
|
with an `id` parameter on it).
|
||
|
|
2. To create configuration wrappers from a special
|
||
|
|
`config-metadata.xml` file (so we can replace
|
||
|
|
`get/set_config_int/bool/string()` function calls). There is an
|
||
|
|
ongoing `cfg` module to replace the whole reading/writing
|
||
|
|
operations of user's settings/preferences.
|
||
|
|
3. To create a wrapper class for theme data access. From
|
||
|
|
[data/skins/default/](../../data/skins/default/)
|
||
|
|
we can create a C++ class with a member function to access
|
||
|
|
each theme slice, color, style, etc.
