Turn pseudo-enums expressed as #defines into strings.

Posted on | June 10, 2007 | View Comments

I have an include file that has 50+ #defines with constants (0,1,2,3,…,etc). I have a dump program to dump the data structure that these #defines are used in into a .csv file. I used this little script to dump case statements out for the #defines, with readable strings instead of arbitrary constant values.


cat  | awk '/#define/{
   print "\t\tcase "  ":";
   print "\t\t\tfprintf(out_csv_fp,\","  "\");";
   print "\t\t\tbreak;";
}' > out.txt

Share and Enjoy:
