Converting to C#

[nsmela]

It's been mentioned that there's work on converting to c sharp automatically in the future and it seems like there is a branch using CppSharp. Have you explored other options or are you currently looking for others? Recently, we found: https://github.com/bottlenoselabs/c2cs and I'm considering exploring it, but I'd avoid it if you're already tried it.

Hello!

We are looking for other options for C# generation, and might end up making our own. We tried CppSharp, but it chokes on some C++ features (auto && in our case, if I remember correctly). In general, the developers seem to think that it's easier to simplify the C++ code than to fix the generator, which is something we've been trying to avoid.

Currently we're working on the C bindings generation (and the future C# bindings may or may not be implemented on top of the C ones).

We haven't tried c2cs, but judging from the readme, it seems to only support C input, not C++. So even if the run it on the C bindings, we'll end up not having any classes in C#, and just a flat list of functions, is that right? We'd like to try to have the proper class hierarchy in C#.

Great, thanks for the update.
