Overview

- -This package can be used to reflect across C++ source code. It can produce -a network of descriptive objects describing C++ Headers, Signatures, Parameters and so -on that it finds in a given location of the file system. -Each of the descriptive objects has a set of getters that return either -the descriptive child objects, or for primitives, the string that represents the actual -value such as "int" or "myFunction". -

-There are also various utility methods that help with navigating the information, for example the Signature -class has an isConstructor method. The API Javadoc contains further details of these. -

-The package can scan a directory using a file mask to identify what types -of files are to be scanned. In this application we are interested only -in the function prototypes in the C++ header files. -

-The implementation was originated using some java code that was also -contributed to the Apache org.apache.axis.tools.common package. Care -has been taken that the original code was not sourced via Apache. If -this project is adopted by Apache then it is very possible that this -package could be merged with or made obsolete by org.apache.axis.tools.common -and because of this the design and interfaces have been preserved from -the original code as much as possible. - -
