README

        

CppSharp is a tool and set of libraries which facilitates the usage of native C/C++ code

with the .NET ecosystem.

It consumes C/C++ header and library files and generates the 

necessary glue code to surface the native API as a managed API. Such an API can be

used to consume an existing native library in your managed code or add

managed scripting support to a native codebase.

The supported target languages at present are C# and C++/CLI.

It can also be used as a library to parse native code into a syntax tree with a

rich declaration and type information model.

## Libraries

### AST 

Mirrors the Clang's C/C++ AST and type system classes in C# APIs.

Check out [_Clang's AST introduction docs_](http://clang.llvm.org/docs/IntroductionToTheClangAST.html) for more details about its architecture.

 

 * C++ declarations

 * C++ statements / expressions

 * C++ types

 * Class object layout

 * Declaration visitors

 * Type visitors

### Parser

Provides APIs for parsing of C/C++ source code into a syntax tree.

* Parsing of C/C++ source code

* Parsing of libraries archives symbols

* Parsing of shared libraries symbols 

* Based on the very accurate Clang C++ parser.

### Generator

Generates the glue binding code from a syntax tree of the native code.

 

 * Multiple backends: C++/CLI and C# (P/Invoke)

 * Multiple ABIs: Itanium, MS, ARM, iOS

 * Multiple platforms: Windows, OS X and Linux

 * Multiple runtimes: .NET and Mono

 * C++ virtual methods overriding from managed code

 * C++ multiple inheritance by translating to C# interfaces

 * C++ std::string

 * C++ default parameter values

 * C/C++ semantic comments (Doxygen) to C# comments

 * Extensible bindings semantics via user passes and type mapping
