AutoGen is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance
|
|
of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text. It is
|
|
especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text
|
|
that must be kept synchronized.
|
|
|
|
AutoGen can now accept XML files as definition input, in addition
|
|
to CGI data (for producing dynamic HTML) and traditional AutoGen
|
|
definitions.
|
|
|
|
A common example where this would be useful is in creating and
|
|
maintaining the code required for processing program options.
|
|
Processing options requires multiple constructs to be maintained
|
|
in parallel in different places in your program. Options maintenance
|
|
needs to be done countless times. So, AutoGen comes with an add-on
|
|
package named AutoOpts that simplifies the maintenance and documentation
|
|
of program options.
