My personal feeling on code generators is they are a bad code smell and the desire to use them tends to imply that your programming language isn't dynamic enough.
That said I have used DNE on proto object proxies to capture messages sent and generate handlers (I have used this on Morphic to try to figure out what methods actually get called vs the ones that don't). I have also used this sort of thing to build a model that matches a database schema. But I wouldn't typically make code generation a routine part of my development process. > On Oct 17, 2016, at 22:24, Hernán Morales Durand <hernan.mora...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I am writing a code generator, doing a few iterations right now. > I want your opinion, which most useful thing would you like to be generated > automatically?
