Code Generation

Below we set forth the plan for the first version of code generation. In this version, we generate XML where possible so we can use the existing F Prime back end. In a later version we will directly generate of C++ and any other needed code (e.g., XML for the ground data system).

XML

Types:

1. Convert each struct definition to a SerializableAi.xml file.

2. Convert each enum definition to an EnumAi.xml file.

3. Convert each array definition to an ArrayAi.xml file.

Ports: Convert each port definition to a PortAi.xml file.

Components: Convert each component definition to a ComponentAi.xml file.

Topologies: Convert each topology definition to a TopologyAi.xml file.

C++

Constants: Generate a header file with constant definitions.

Topologies: Generate C++ code for setting up a deployment.
