This directory contains the code generation suite used by the Swift and Rust extractors and QL library. This suite will use the abstract class specification of a schema python module to generate:

• the dbscheme file (see dbschemegen.py)
• the QL generated code and when appropriate the corresponding stubs (see qlgen.py)
• QL language tests for testing the extractors (see qlgen.py)
• [Swift] C++ tags and trap entries (see trapgen.py)
• [Swift] C++ structured classes (see cppgen.py)
• [Rust] Rust structured classes (see rustgen.py)
• [Rust] Rust sources for extractor language tests extracted from the documentation snippets (see rusttestgen.py)

Schemas can be found in the Swift package or in the Rust one.

By default bazel run //misc/codegen -- -c your-codegen.conf will load options from your-codegen.conf. See the Swift configuration for an example. Calling misc/codegen/codegen.py directly (provided you installed dependencies via pip3 install -r misc/codegen/requirements.txt) will use a file named codegen.conf contained in an ancestor directory if any exists.

See bazel run //misc/codegen -- --help for a list of all options. In particular --generate can be used with a comma separated list to select what to generate (choosing among dbscheme, ql, trap and cpp).

The suite uses mustache templating for generation. Templates are in the templates directory, prefixed with the generation target they are used for.

Rather than passing dictionaries to the templating engine, python dataclasses are used as defined in the lib directory. For each of the four generation targets the entry point for the implementation is specified as the generate function in the modules within the generators directory.

Finally, codegen.py is the driver script gluing everything together and specifying the command line options.

Unit tests are in the test directory and can be run via bazel test //misc/codegen/test.

For more details about each specific generation target, please refer to the module docstrings in the generators directory.
