README

CppSharp is a tool and set of libraries which allows programmers 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.

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
