Macros for simplifying transferring code from another framework

[alan73]

Hello!

I'm porting my C++ Windows-project built with Embarcadero RAD Studio to Linux with Qt. So I have many statements in my code like that:

@Menu->Enabled = true;@

For Qt it should be transformed like that:

@Menu->setEnabled(true);@

So now I'm losing a lot of time commenting code. Is there a way to do this replacement automatically (maybe by writinf some macros using #define or something using Qt)?

Macros like that would be a nightmare to maintain. I would go for a careful text replacement. "Enabled = true" -> "setEnabled(true)" shouldn't be that difficult. And of course test the bejesus out of it afterwards (you do have unit tests right?).

Unit tests are not used in the project, but I suggest it's very useful.

Hi,

When porting an application like that it can become vital to ensure you didn't broke anything.
