Add automatic generation of necessary C++ standard library includes

konard · claude · konard · commit a2bb90774f2c · 2025-09-13T21:19:10.000+03:00
Resolves issue #45 by implementing automatic detection and generation of required #include statements for std library features used in the C++ transformation. ## New Features ### C# Implementation - New `TransformWithIncludes()` method that analyzes transformed output and generates necessary include statements - Comprehensive mapping of std library features to their headers: - `std::string` → `<string>` - `std::vector` → `<vector>` - `std::function` → `<functional>` - `std::tuple` → `<tuple>` - `std::numeric_limits` → `<limits>` - `std::exception` → `<exception>` - `std::mutex`, `std::lock_guard` → `<mutex>` - `std::ostream` → `<ostream>` - Integer types → `<cstdint>` - Includes are sorted alphabetically and only generated when needed - Maintains backward compatibility with existing `Transform()` method ### Python Implementation - Similar functionality added to Python version - `translate()` method now automatically generates includes - Uses same mapping as C# implementation ## Tests - Comprehensive test suite covering: - Basic string transformation with includes - Multiple std library features - Empty input handling - Edge cases with mixed features - All existing tests continue to pass ## Version Update - Bumped version to 0.4.0 to reflect new feature 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
