Description
Hello! 👋
I have been following this repo for quite some time and figured I would leave a few words of thanks.
Just wanted to drop a note and say that I think the approach you have taken here is brilliant.
It's innovative/unique and solves many of the problems found in other binding generators:
- Many tools are based on
libclang, rather thanlibTooling, so lack full AST and type access - If they are based on
libTooling, that means the generator code is C++, which also means it can't be rapidly developed (due to edit-compile lifecycle) or tweaked by the end user, without installing the whole dependency toolchain- The one way of getting around this would be to use something like
cling(https://github.com/root-project/cling) which allows to use C++ as an interpreted/JIT compiled language. I haven't seen this though.
- The one way of getting around this would be to use something like
- The codegen API used here is based on clean, decorator rule-based patterns where you can succinctly declare a rule using the underlying
libToolingAST node access and then how it should be converted - You have written a C-to-C++ binding generator, which haven't run across before (yet provides the easiest interop for languages)
Really amazing stuff!
