[fluid-dev] Again on "Compile time constant lookup tables"

[Carlo Bramini]

Hello friends,

I was wondering what you think about using an external tool for compiling the 
const tables, like Python. Few lines on code into the CMakeLists.txt, no extra 
options, no compile time macros. After creating those tables, the compilation 
of the C code will work on all C compilers of the world. The tool will be 
searched by cmake with REQUIRED option. If we would like to avoid that, we may 
add a test for testing the presence of the generated files inside a specific 
directory, but perhaps it is not worth to do that extra work: in my opinion, 
having Python (or something else if you want) just at compile time is much less 
restrictive than having GLIB dependency at runtime.

what do you think?

Sincerely.
