Function Extractor

Purpose

The purpose of the tool is to identify methods and functions defined in header files and automatically move the definitions to corresponding translation units. If a translation unit does not exist, the tool creates it.

Caveats

• Function Extractor expects to receive valid C/C++ code as input
• Highly recommended to run it only for commited code
• The tool does not offer custom formatting. If needed, clang-format can be used.

Roadmap

• Diagnostic: Identify definitions in header files and print them
• Update existing header files
• Create translation unit if does not exist
• Update existing translation units
• Config file
  • Exclude directories, paths, files
• Extended cmd line parameters
  • Support parallel execution
  • Support Compile database
