[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] The embodiments of the automatically generated code method provided in this application can be executed on a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal for an automatic code generation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, a mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 (which may include, but is not limited to, a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA, etc.) and a memory 104 for storing data are also shown. The mobile terminal may further include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input / output device 108. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal described above. For example, the mobile terminal may also include components that are more... Figure 1 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 1 The different configurations shown.

[0027] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the automatic code generation method in this embodiment of the invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs stored in the memory 104, thereby implementing the aforementioned method. The memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

[0028] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the network described above may include a wireless network provided by the mobile terminal's communication provider. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can connect to other network devices via a base station to communicate with the Internet. In another example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0029] This embodiment provides a method for automatically generating code that runs on the aforementioned mobile terminal or network architecture. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for automatically generating code according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S202: Obtain the first header file of the target business;

[0031] The first header file mentioned above is a C++ file formed by structurally parsing the header files of the target business implementation based on its own code architecture style and C++ syntax. It forms a custom header file intermediate expression structure data, which is responsible for component namespaces, interface commands, interface input and output parameters, interface parameter data structure information, etc.

[0032] Step S204: Generate target code using a preset mapping relationship and the first header file, wherein the target code includes: interface specification code, sub-service code, or adaptation code.

[0033] The above mapping relationships include a first mapping relationship, a second mapping relationship, and a third mapping relationship. The above target code includes interface specification code, sub-service code, or adaptation code. The first and second mapping relationships are combined with the first header file to generate interface specification code and sub-service code, respectively. The third mapping relationship is combined with the first header file or a third-party header file to generate adaptation code.

[0034] Specifically, generating target code through a preset mapping relationship and the first header file includes: generating the interface specification code based on the first mapping relationship and the first header file; or, generating the sub-service code based on the second mapping relationship and the first header file; or, generating the adaptation code for the first header file and the second header file based on the third mapping relationship, the first header file, and the second header file; wherein the preset mapping relationship includes: the first mapping relationship, the second mapping relationship, and the third mapping relationship.

[0035] As an optional implementation, generating corresponding interface specification code based on the first mapping relationship and the first header file includes: generating the interface specification code based on the mapping relationship between the data type of the first header file and the field type of the data exchange format, wherein the first mapping relationship records the mapping relationship between the data type of the code used in the first header file and the field type of the data exchange format.

[0036] The aforementioned first mapping relationship records the mapping between the C / C++ data types in the first header file and the corresponding JSON field types in the service application programming interface (API). This first mapping relationship and the first header file generate the aforementioned interface specification code. This interface specification code is a series of specifications and conventions followed when defining interfaces in programming, including interface naming conventions, interface method naming conventions, interface parameter conventions, and interface return value conventions.

[0037] As an optional implementation, generating sub-service code based on the second mapping relationship and the first header file includes: parsing the first header file to generate intermediate expression structure information; and generating the sub-service code based on the mapping relationship between each structure information and each sub-service information in the intermediate expression structure information, wherein the second mapping relationship records the mapping relationship between the structure information and the sub-service information.

[0038] The intermediate expression structure information mentioned above includes macro definitions, naming conventions, component names, parameter descriptions, and interface definitions. The sub-service code described above is for ease of management and maintenance, dividing the system into multiple independent service units, each responsible for handling specific functions or business logic. These independent service units are referred to as the sub-services mentioned above.

[0039] The second mapping relationship described above records the mapping relationship between each structural information in the intermediate expression structure information and each sub-service information. The second mapping relationship includes the following:

[0040] Mapping method definition 1: Component name in header file => Sub-service name;

[0041] Mapping method definition 2: Component name.interface name => sub-service API interface name in the header file (to avoid service conflicts);

[0042] Mapping method definition 3: In the header file, append Asyn to the name of the asynchronous interface => sub-service API interface;

[0043] Mapping method definition 4: Subscribe to callback interface name in the header file => Sub-service API interface name + notify;

[0044] Mapping method definition 5: In API requests, the method is always used to identify the interface service; params is used to identify the parameter service; object is used to identify the business object address; id is used to identify the request identifier; and session is used to identify the session identifier.

[0045] Mapping method definition 6: The API request always uses "result" to identify the response result, and everything else remains the same as the request;

[0046] Based on the second mapping relationship and the first header file mentioned above, the sub-service code is generated according to the following steps.

[0047] Step 1: Generate the corresponding sub-service registration slot based on the RPC communication framework.

[0048] Step 2: Input the structured data of the C++ business interface into the sub-service generator, and generate the corresponding service API according to the generation mapping.

[0049] Step 3: Based on the C++ business interface and the corresponding generation method, input the data into the sub-service generator and service slot generator to generate the sub-services and service slots.

[0050] Step 4: For multiple sub-services, perform round-robin calls to generate sub-services respectively, forming a set of sub-services.

[0051] As an optional implementation, generating adaptation code for the first header file and the second header file based on the third mapping relationship, the first header file, and the second header file includes: generating the adaptation code based on the correspondence between each interface in the first header file and each function in the second header file.

[0052] Specifically, the correspondence between each interface and each function in the second header file, and the generation of the adaptation code, includes: mapping the parameters of each function in the second header file to the corresponding input and output parameters of the corresponding interface in the first header file according to the number of interfaces in the first header file and the number of functions in the second header file.

[0053] The second header file mentioned above is the documentation from a third-party company (other than our company) that implements the business logic. The adapter code mentioned above is used to connect our company's software system with the third-party company's software system. This adapter code is typically used to resolve interface incompatibility or data format discrepancies between different systems, ensuring they can communicate and interact correctly.

[0054] The above third mapping relationship includes the following three contents:

[0055] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the header file mapping relationship according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 ,like Figure 3 As shown, header file A is the first header file mentioned above, and header file B is the second header file mentioned above. The number of functions in the second header file is the same as the number of interfaces in the first header file. Therefore, the parameters in the functions of the second header file are mapped one by one to the input / output parameters in the first header file. Figure 3 For example, parameter 1 in the second header file is mapped to input / output parameter A1 in the first header file, parameter 2 in the second header file is mapped to input / output parameter A2 in the first header file, and parameter 3 in the second header file is mapped to output parameter A3 in the first header file.

[0056] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the header file service mapping relationship according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 ,like Figure 4As shown, header file A is the first header file mentioned above, and header file B is the second header file mentioned above. Since the number of interfaces in the first header file is greater than the number of functions in the second header file, the parameters in the functions of the second header file will be mapped to the input / output parameters of multiple interfaces in the first header file. Figure 4 For example, parameter 1 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter A1 of interface 1 in the first header file, parameter 2 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter B1 of interface 2 in the first header file, parameter 3 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter B2 of interface 2 in the first header file, parameter 4 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter A2 of interface 1 in the first header file, parameter 5 in the second header file is mapped to the output parameter A3 of interface 1 in the first header file, and parameter 6 in the second header file is mapped to the output parameter B3 of interface 2 in the first header file.

[0057] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the header file mapping relationship according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 ,like Figure 5 As shown, header file A is the first header file mentioned above, and header file B is the second header file mentioned above. The number of interfaces in the first header file is less than the number of functions in the second header file. Therefore, the parameters of multiple functions in the second header file are mapped to the interfaces in the first header file respectively. Figure 5 For example, parameter 1 of function 1 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter A1 of interface 1 in the first header file; parameter 2 of function 1 in the second header file is mapped to the output parameter A3 of interface 1 in the first header file; parameter 3 of function 1 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter B2 of interface 1 in the first header file; parameter 1 of function 2 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter A2 of interface 1 in the first header file; parameter 2 of function 2 in the second header file is mapped to the output parameter B3 of interface 1 in the first header file; and parameter 3 of function 2 in the second header file is mapped to the input / output parameter B1 of interface 1 in the first header file.

[0058] As an optional implementation method, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of secondary encapsulation development according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each business service has a custom C / C++ header file. In scenarios involving interoperability between systems, a third party provides the required C / C++ header file format. One party needs to provide a system access SDK to perform secondary encapsulation development according to the service access header file format of the other party. By using the header files between the two system services to define the header file method, rapid development and integration of each sub-service can be achieved. The schematic diagram of secondary encapsulation development is as follows. Figure 6 As shown.

[0059] As an alternative implementation, when evolving and extending the published service API specification, incompatibility issues may arise in the header file implementation for a single business interface.

[0060] Figure 7 This is a general flowchart of a method for automatically generating code according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the process includes the following:

[0061] S701: Input terminal for C++ header files;

[0062] S702: The header file parsing engine parses the above header files. The parsed structured data includes namespaces, class names, function names, parameter types, number of parameters, input and output parameters, function comments, function return values, callback functions, etc.

[0063] S703: Store the structured data of the above header file;

[0064] S704: Modeling by generation method, which includes service name, API name, parameter name, self-service N, etc.

[0065] S705: Generator Output. Includes a service API generator to generate sub-service APIs, a sub-service generator to generate sub-service source code; and a service registration generator to generate sub-service registration slots by combining the structured data from S1103.

[0066] Optionally, the entity performing the above steps may be a background processor or other devices with similar processing capabilities, or a machine that integrates at least an image acquisition device and a data processing device.
