'''
This tool extracts information about structs and defines from the C headers.
You can pass either the raw header files or JSON files to this script.

The JSON input format is as follows:
[
  {
    'file': 'some/header.h',
    'structs': {
      'struct_name': [
        'field1',
        'field2',
        'field3',
        {
          'field4': [
            'nested1',
            'nested2',
            {
              'nested3': [
                'deep_nested1',
                ...
              ]
            }
            ...
          ]
        },
        'field5'
      ],
      'other_struct': [
        'field1',
        'field2',
        ...
      ]
    },
    'defines': [
      'DEFINE_1',
      'DEFINE_2',
      ['f', 'FLOAT_DEFINE'],
      'DEFINE_3',
      ...
    ]
  },
  {
    'file': 'some/other/header.h',
    ...
  }
]

Please note that the 'f' for 'FLOAT_DEFINE' is just the format passed to printf(), you can put anything printf() understands.
If you call this script with the flag "-f" and pass a header file, it will create an automated boilerplate for you.

The JSON output format is based on the return value of Runtime.generateStructInfo().
{
  'structs': {
    'struct_name': {
      '__size__': <the struct's size>,
      'field1': <field1's offset>,
      'field2': <field2's offset>,
      'field3': <field3's offset>,
      'field4': {
        '__size__': <field4's size>,
        'nested1': <nested1's offset>,
        ...
      },
      ...
    }
  },
  'defines': {
    'DEFINE_1': <DEFINE_1's value>,
