codecgen tool
Generate is given a list of *.go files to parse, and an output file (fout),
codecgen will create an output file file.go which
contains codec.Selfer implementations for the named types found
in the files parsed.
Using codecgen is very straightforward.
Download and install the tool
go get -u github.com/ugorji/go/codec/codecgen
Run the tool on your files
The command line format is:
codecgen [options] (-o outfile) (infile ...)
% codecgen -?
Usage of codecgen:
-c="github.com/ugorji/go/codec": codec path
-o="": out file
-r=".*": regex for type name to match
-rt="": tags for go run
-t="": build tag to put in file
-u=false: Use unsafe, e.g. to avoid unnecessary allocation on []byte->string
-x=false: keep temp file
% codecgen -o values_codecgen.go values.go values2.go moretypedefs.go
Please see the blog article for more information on how to use the tool.

Functions ¶
func Generate ¶
func Generate(outfile, buildTag, codecPkgPath string, useUnsafe bool, goRunTag string, regexName *regexp.Regexp, deleteTempFile bool, infiles ...string) (err error)
Generate is given a list of *.go files to parse, and an output file (fout).
It finds all types T in the files, and it creates 2 tmp files (frun).
- main package file passed to 'go run'
- package level file which calls *genRunner.Selfer to write Selfer impls for each T.
We use a package level file so that it can reference unexported types in the package being worked on. Tool then executes: "go run __frun__" which creates fout. fout contains Codec(En|De)codeSelf implementations for every type T.
