BIN2CPP

Converts files from a binary to C++ headers. It is similar to bin2c and xxd but adds support for namespaces. Created this to convert OpenCL kernels to C++ headers.

Usage

Option	Description
--name	name of the variable (default: var)
--file	input file
--output	output file (If no output is specified then it prints to stdout
--type	Type of variable (default: char)
--namespace	A space seperated list of namespaces
--formatted	Tabs for formatting
--version	Prints my name
--help	Prints usage info

Example

Input File:

// blah.txt
blah blah blah

Command:

./bin2cpp --file blah.txt --namespace blah detail --formatted --name blah_var

Will produce:

#include <cstddef>
namespace blah {
	namespace detail {
		static const char blah_var[] = {
			0x2f,	0x2f,	0x20,	0x62,	0x6c,	0x61,	0x68,	0x2e,	0x74,	0x78,
			0x74,	0xa,	0x62,	0x6c,	0x61,	0x68,	0x20,	0x62,	0x6c,	0x61,
			0x68,	0x20,	0x62,	0x6c,	0x61,	0x68,	0xa,	};
		static const size_t blah_var_len = 27;
	}
}
