CppHeaderParser

✓ from CppHeaderParser import CppHeaderParser

✗ import CppHeaderParser

CppHeaderParser is a class, not a module. Common mistake is to import the module and try to use it directly.

Parse a C++ header from a string or file and access parsed elements.

from CppHeaderParser import CppHeaderParser cppCode = ''' class MyClass { public: int myMethod(); }; ''' parser = CppHeaderParser(cppCode) # or pass a filepath: CppHeaderParser('path/to/header.h') print(parser.return_code) print(parser.classes) print(parser.functions) print(parser.typedefs)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaCppHeaderParser is case-sensitive. The class name must be exactly capitalized as CppHeaderParser (capital C, P, H, P).

fix

Use 'from CppHeaderParser import CppHeaderParser' exactly as shown.

affects: all

gotchaThe parser may not handle all C++11/14/17 features perfectly. Complicated templates, constexpr, or attributes may cause parse errors.

fix

Preprocess the header with a C++ preprocessor (e.g., gcc -E) to expand macros and remove unused conditional branches before parsing.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'CppHeaderParser' has no attribute 'CppHeader'

Importing the module instead of the class, or using wrong class name.

fix

Use: from CppHeaderParser import CppHeaderParser

CppHeaderParser.ParseError: 'Parenthesis'

Encountered a syntax element the parser cannot understand, often due to complex templates or missing semicolons.

fix

Verify the header is valid C++. If needed, run through a preprocessor first.
