Have you explored that ? any preliminary thoughts on how does one go about doing it ? warm regards Saifi.

Gabriele please see Stephen Friedl's blog posts on GCC plugins https://stephanfr.com/category/gcc/ and git repo https://github.com/stephanfr/GCCPlugin Have you had a chance to see these posts during your literature survey ? Any thoughts ? warm regards Saifi.

To quote again, the OP words for emphasis, "let's use a simple database, a CSV file for simplicity, and generate both files from this." Do you think the effort estimate to implement this requirement is "4000 lines of C++" ? Am i missing something here ? warm regards Saifi.

Perhaps this is something the current build scripts take care of anyway.

Vince CSV parser (RFC4180 + flavours) https://github.com/vincentlaucsb/csv-parser C++11 header only (MT can be turned on/off). https://github.com/ben-strasser/fast-cpp-csv-parser If not, Is there is something else that is needed for the CSV parsers to qualify ? Thanks for sharing your perspective. Much appreciated ! warm regards Saifi.

Well, it seems then the 'innocent CSV' proposed by Ulrich is the strawman that leads to meson ! Please feel free to correct me if that is not the 'unstated' intent. warm regards Saifi.
