How to automate conversion of C++ file to Wireshark Lua dissector

问题

I have a C++ file defining a certain protocol. The file contains structs which define the messages used in the protocol. Each struct contains fields for a certain message. An example would be as follows:

struct STATS00_MESSAGE_T
{
    uint8_t  message_type
    uint16_t num_sends;
    uint8_t  num_failures;
};

What is the best or easiest way to convert a C++ file containing a lot of structs like these into a Lua dissector for Wireshark? The Lua dissector should be able to dissect the fields of the messages.

The C++ file is quite complex containing several enums, typedefs, Boost macros, includes, etc. So, writing a brute-force parsing script like Perl to do the automated conversion from C++ to Lua dissector is not that easy to do. Are there existing tools we can use to facilitate the conversion process?
