Extract public parts of a given Delphi unit source code file

[Andre1 0]

Hi,

I have written a library to make use of Firemonkey from the programming language D.

Therefore I need to generate D wrapper classes / structures / enumerations for the Delphi classes / records /....

 

Sample:

 

alias TCloseEvent = void delegate(TObject sender, ref TCloseAction action);
alias TCloseQueryEvent = void delegate (TObject sender, ref bool canClose);

enum TDeviceKind {
	Desktop, 
	iPhone, 
	iPad
};

enum TFormPosition {Designed, Default, DefaultPosOnly, DefaultSizeOnly, ScreenCenter, DesktopCenter, MainFormCenter, OwnerFormCenter};

alias TDeviceKinds = TDeviceKind[]; // TODO Set of TDeviceKinds

class TFormFactor: TPersistent
{
	mixin(GenSetProperty!("Devices", TDeviceKind));
	mixin(GenIntProperty!("Height"));
	mixin(GenIntProperty!("Width"));
	
	this(int reference)
	{
		super(reference);
	}
}

This is a manual and error prone effort. I wonder whether there is maybe a tool included in Delphi which gives me the info about the classes / records / ... for a given Delphi unit source code file

like FMX.Forms.pas.  Best solution would be if I can get the info as JSON / XML after the IFDEFs are sorted out by the compiler...

Based on the JSON then I could easily generate the D artifacts.

 

Is there something like this available?

 

Kind regards

André

Try DelphiAST (link in my signature). Or you can try to find some pas-to-h converters (not sure they exist at all) which D should eat as well.

Thank you.

If you have RAD Studio (ie you also have C++ Builder) then the C++ FMX header files may be useful here.... Not sure about copyright / license restrictions on their use though....
