Reduce manual labor: auto-generate C header?!

[rusefillc]

I know title sounds odd please hear me out.

Problem statement: I am clearly still typing same thing twice: first I open yaml and I do

  - pin: B23
# H144_OUT_PWM4
    id: C8
    class: outputs
    ts_name: --- VTC VVT
    function: VTC VVT

(not how I have to say ID = C8 for my custom java in rusEFI while leaving a human-readable comment H144_OUT_PWM4 which is hellen_meta.h)

and then I go edit boards.cpp file where I type

    engineConfiguration->vvtPins[0] = H144_OUT_PWM4;

Note how I am manually keeping things in sync?

No idea what exactly I am looking for but for instance

if I have machine-generated

#define B23_VTC_VVT C8

I would at least

    engineConfiguration->vvtPins[0] = GPIO::B23_VTC_VVT ;

which is one step closer to not manually syncing yaml and C

Not in scope of this repo, but seems doable. Make an issue in rusefi/rusefi and we'll discuss there.
