Creating code at compile time using scripts

Question

Ideally, I would like to be able to add (very repeatable) C / C ++ code to my actual code, but at compile time, the code that comes out, like the stdout python script, is the same as one does with macros.

For example, suppose I have functions that depend on the public attributes of this class, the ability to write the following in my C ++ code would be a boon:

generate_boring_functions(FooBarClass,"FooBarClass.cpp")

Is this possible using conventional means? Or should I hack makefiles and temporary source files?

Thank.
