OyjlArgs serialisation #55

Closed beku closed 5 years ago

beku commented 5 years ago

Add oyjlUi_ExportToJson() and oyjlUi_FromJson() to contain all related stuff. That dump shall make it easier to edit oyjl args and write exporters to other languages than current C only sources.

Workflow:

OyjlArgs.json -> oyjlUi_FromJson() -> oyjlUi_ToC() -> compile
oyjlUi_ExportToJson() -> OyjlArgs.json -> edit -> oyjlUi_ToC() -> compile
oyjlUi_ExportToJson() -> OyjlArgs.json -> porting C->C++ -> oyjlUi_ToCpp() -> compile

An other interesting, but laborious, function implementation would be scanning in man pages for oyjlUi_s data structure creation.

The JSON to C code is getting closer. The output compiles already. TODO:

variable names should come from option names
function names likewise from option names
give warning on non flying option names for inclusion into C code names e.g. ','/'.'

char * sources = oyjlUiJsonToCode( json, OYJL_SOURCE_CODE_C );

Code is checked in and the generated C sources compile in tree for easy checking.
