A simple script to generate an useful header with some macros commonly used throughout my projects

Platform Header Generator

About

PHG is a simple python script used to generate a set of useful macros used throughout all my projects, personalized with a custom prefix.

NOTE: All the macros are always defined so that they can be used as constant expressions in your code.

Features

• Platform macros to distinguish Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android
• Compiler macros to distinguish MSVC, GCC, Clang
• Architecture macros ti distinguish 64-bit and 32-bit targets
• Visibility macros to correctly export functions/classes from a dynamic library
• Utility macros for local declarations, unused variables or parameters, and asserts
• Features checking macro to conditionally enable custom features

Future Work

• Write a proper help/usage message
• Add an usage example
• Report compiler version
• Support ARM architecture
