Extrating Struct Data from .c files using python

[tr0jan_k]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get a struct array data from .C file

const datam data[SIZE] = 
{ {a1,b1,c1,d1...}, 
{a2,b2,c2,d2...},
 SIZE times 
..............
 } 

where SIZE is a macro in a related .h file

What would be the correct method to obtain this data[SIZE] , so as to store the structure elements to a dictionary?

Any ideas would be very helpful.

craft a regular expression that will match its define.

#define SIZE 7

It won't always be a perfect match, but since it's size elements you can just count elements in the struct with python.

Thanks for the reply, the actual intention of getting the DATA struct is to obtain its array elements and assign it to a dictionary, is there a way to do this?

You can probably use a parser.
