raylib parser

This parser scans raylib.h to get information about structs, enums and functions. All data is separated into parts, usually as strings. The following types are used for data:

• struct FunctionInfo
• struct StructInfo
• struct EnumInfo

Check raylib_parser.c for details about those structs.

Command Line Arguments

The parser can take a few options...

• --help Displays help information about the parser
• --json Outputs the header information in JSON format

Constraints

This parser is specifically designed to work with raylib.h, so, it has some constraints:

• Functions are expected as a single line with the following structure:

   <retType> <name>(<paramType[0]> <paramName[0]>, <paramType[1]> <paramName[1]>);  <desc>

Be careful with functions broken into several lines, it breaks the process!

• Structures are expected as several lines with the following form:

   <desc>
   typedef struct <name> {
       <fieldType[0]> <fieldName[0]>;  <fieldDesc[0]>
       <fieldType[1]> <fieldName[1]>;  <fieldDesc[1]>
       <fieldType[2]> <fieldName[2]>;  <fieldDesc[2]>
   } <name>;

• Enums are expected as several lines with the following form:

   <desc>
   typedef enum {
       <valueName[0]> = <valueInteger[0]>, <valueDesc[0]>
       <valueName[1]>,
       <valueName[2]>, <valueDesc[2]>
       <valueName[3]>  <valueDesc[3]>
   } <name>;

NOTE: For enums, multiple options are supported:

• If value is not provided, (<valueInteger[i -1]> + 1) is assigned
• Value description can be provided or not

Additional notes

This parser could work with other C header files if mentioned constraints are followed.

This parser does not require <string.h> library, all data is parsed directly from char buffers.
