  • Creating a CLI in C++
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 27 Apr 2022
    I am considering using a CLI generator like this. How could I add these commands to my shell? Here, we are simply calling cpp output files (e.g. ./add -x=1 -y=2, where add is a built file). What if I wanted all my commands to be visible elsewhere and with a prefix (e.g. math add -x=1 -y=2)?
  • fire-llvm: generate command line interfaces from ordinary C++ functions/classes
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 27 Dec 2021
    I'm a big fan of fire-hpp, which lets you turn C++ functions into command line interfaces. I wanted to make my own version which also supports classes and does not require any boilerplate code. The result is fire-llvm, a clang plugin that adds a compiler pass which automagically generates fire-hpp code prior to object code generation.
