Usage:

G_ASSIST is called from shell with the format:
[G_ASSIST] [cmd] -v[0-] {params}

where:

• [G_ASSIST] is %G_ASSIST% under windows and $G_ASSIST under linux.
• -v[0-] is the verbosity level (possible values -v0,-v1,...)
• [cmd] is one from the following possibility
  • -sc
    Parse a signal expression like:
    sig_type(partype1 par1,partype1 par2) into the clipboard i.e.java -jar GLibJSupport.jar -sc "MySig(int par1,int par2)"
    
  • -sh
    -sh sig_type(partype1 par1,partype1 par2) 'sig_dir' parse a signal into sig_dir i.e.:
    java -jar GLibJSupport.jar -sh "MySig(int par1,int par2)" "c:\temp"
    will generate a MySig.h with the result.
    

  • -p
    G_ASSIST -p {-vX} [path_to_parse] {-od [specific_output_dir]} {-or [success_report_path]}
    Parse a source file interpreting the signals (G_SIGNAL) and refs(G_REF)!
    If -od is specified [specific_output_dir] becomes the base dir for output files (instead of the dir of input file).
    If -or is specified an output report will be generated in [success_report_path] in case of success ONLY.
    

  • -pc
    G_ASSIST -pc {-vX} [.vcproj] {-o [success_report_path_output_dir]}
    Pre-compile a MS Visual Studio 2005 project ([.vcproj]) by calling parsing for each .cpp,.c,.h,.cxx,.hxx,.hpp file!
    If -o is specified [success_report_path_output_dir] contains the output report path which is [source_name.ext.txt].
    If -o is not specified success report path is generated inside .vcproj path
    

  • -m
    Shows a message box with possibly 3 format:
    

    • '[G_ASSIST] -m message'
    • '[G_ASSIST] -m message title'
    • '[G_ASSIST] -m message title msg_type' where msg_type can be:
      • ok
      • ok_cancel
      • retry_cancel
      • cancel_retry_continue
      • yes_no
      • help
      • yes_no_cancel
      • abort_retry_continue

  • -h
    • '[G_ASSIST] -h' Print out the help.
    • '[G_ASSIST] -h -l' Print the list of commands only.
    • '[G_ASSIST] -h cmd_opt Print out the help of a spefic command i.e '[G_ASSIST] -h -pc'.
