Generate C++ version of ifc_schema_helper.ts

Open jespa007 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, It could be interesting the generation ifc_schema_helper.ts for cpp (like ifc_schema_helper.cpp). In this case we could parse Ifc estructures (i.e IfcEntities, IfcEnums, etc) without depending of nodejs.

This could be done - but it will be a big change of direction in the library - and would only be useful if being used as a standalone CPP library

@beachtom I know that is a big change and not trivial... just guessed that because there's a gen_functional_types_helpers that generates the typescript version, the c++ version could be no hard to achieve. It's text after all but yeah .. the complexity typescript vs c++ is not the same.

In short I am not opposed to it - but to me it is not a high priority........
