README.md

CppSharp is a tool and set of libraries which allows programmmers to use C/C++ libraries with high-level programming languages (such as C#).

It is a tool that takes C/C++ header and library files and generates the necessary glue to surface the native API as a managed API. Such an API can be used to consume an existing native library in your high-level code or add 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 for more details about its architecture.

C++ declarations
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++ standard library types (work-in-progress)
C++ default parameter values
C/C++ semantic comments (Doxygen) to C# comments
Extensible bindings semantics via user passes and type mapping
