Introduction

Ever came across having to make changes to code that Regex (Regular Expressions) can’t cover, like transforming the name of a function and its arguments, or changing a piece of the body without breaking nesting? this is where this tool shines and makes it easy!

CodeShaper is a tool that loads a given project or single code file, parses its AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) so you can transform any code that you wish, going to the very small details

It uses ANtlr4 along the required Antlr4 Grammars to parse the contents of the code file that any type of project is related to

Currently, it only supports these grammars:

• CPP14 (C++ 14) Grammar

If you don’t have the application yet, you can download in the Releases

Mind that the application does not update itself, so you have to check for the latest releases that have bugfixes and improvements
