Clang.Net

NOTE: OBSOLETE

Drawbacks of my old approach:

• used Managed C++
• needed to have the same compiler for compiling Clang and the wrapper
• was not able to support linux

I consider now using following lib and contribute to it instead of continuing development here https://github.com/Microsoft/ClangSharp

OLD CONTENT BELOW

---

A managed wrapper for clang.

Documentation

Fully supported

• String manipulation routines (transparent handling)
• Traversing the AST with cursors
• C++ AST introspection
• File manipulation routines
• Physical source locations

Partially supported

• Cursor manipulations
• Translation unit manipulation
• Mapping between cursors and source code
• Diagnostic reporting
• Type information for CXCursors

TODO

• Higher level API functions (Indexing)

• Token extraction and manipulation

• Information for attributes

• Cross-referencing in the AST

• Debugging facilities

• Miscellaneous utility functions

• Remapping functions

• implement CXDiagnosticSet wrapper

• FixIts support

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

And not yet planned because not part of my intended use:

• Code completion

Dependencies

C-Runtime. In order to load the libclang.dll, this specific C Run-Time is needed

• http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555

.NET 4. Is required to run the wrapper.

• http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851

An alternative is to recompile llvm + clang using the runtime of your choice.
