+# This script is a smaller version of the clever gen-asm-const.awk hack used to
+# generate ASM constants from .sym files. We'll use this to generate constants
+# for Python pretty printers.
+#
+# The input to this script are .pysym files that look like:
+# #C_Preprocessor_Directive...
+# NAME1
+# NAME2 expression...
+#
+# A line giving just a name implies an expression consisting of just that name.
+# Comments start with '--'.
+#
+# The output of this script is a 'dummy' function containing 'asm' declarations
+# for each non-preprocessor line in the .pysym file. The expression values
+# will appear as input operands to the 'asm' declaration. For example, if we
+# have:
+#
+# /* header.h */
+# #define MACRO 42
+#
+# struct S {
+# char c1;
+# char c2;
+# char c3;
+# };
+#
+# enum E {
+# ZERO,
+# ONE
+# };
+#
+# /* symbols.pysym */
+# #include <stddef.h>
+# #include "header.h"
+# -- This is a comment
+# MACRO
+# C3_OFFSET offsetof(struct S, c3)
+# E_ONE ONE
+#
+# the output will be:
+#
+# #include <stddef.h>
+# #include "header.h"
+# void dummy(void)
+# {
+# asm ("@name@MACRO@value@%0@" : : "i" (MACRO));
+# asm ("@name@C3_OFFSET@value@%0@" : : "i" (offsetof(struct S, c3)));
+# asm ("@name@E_ONE@value@%0@" : : "i" (ONE));
+# }
+#
+# We'll later feed this output to gcc -S. Since '-S' tells gcc to compile but
+# not assemble, gcc will output something like:
+#
+# dummy:
+# ...
+# @name@MACRO@value@$42@
+# @name@C3_OFFSET@value@$2@
+# @name@E_ONE@value@$1@
+#
+# Finally, we can process that output to extract the constant values.
+# Notice gcc may prepend a special character such as '$' to each value.
+
+# found_symbol indicates whether we found a non-comment, non-preprocessor line.
+BEGIN { found_symbol = 0 }
+
+# C preprocessor directives go straight through.
+/^#/ { print; next; }
+
+# Skip comments.
+/--/ { next; }
+
+# Trim leading whitespace.
+{ sub(/^[[:blank:]]*/, ""); }
+
+# If we found a non-comment, non-preprocessor line, print the 'dummy' function
+# header.
+NF > 0 && !found_symbol {
+ print "void dummy(void)\n{";
+ found_symbol = 1;
+}
+
+# If the line contains just a name, duplicate it so we can use that name
+# as the value of the expression.
+NF == 1 { sub(/^.*$/, "& &"); }
+
+# If a line contains a name and an expression...
+NF > 1 {
+ name = $1;
+
+ # Remove any characters before the second field.
+ sub(/^[^[:blank:]]+[[:blank:]]+/, "");
+
+ # '$0' ends up being everything that appeared after the first field
+ # separator.
+ printf " asm (\"@name@%s@value@%0@\" : : \"i\" (%s));\n", name, $0;
+}
+
+# Close the 'dummy' function.
+END { if (found_symbol) print "}"; }
