Code-gen tools forked from SharpDX and independently mantained.

• Accurate, fast code-gen for C++ and COM interfaces from their C++ headers.
• No dependencies on .NET Runtime COM support
• Supports passing code-gen information through MSBuild project and package references
• Pluggable Runtime Library Name (default library is SharpGen.Runtime)
  • Projects such as SharpDX could change to "SharpDX" to not break compatibility

• SharpGen
  • The code-gen engine that runs CastXML to parse the C++ and then generates the C#.
• SharpPatch
  • Patches the calli instructions for efficient COM interop as well as other constructs not possible in C#
• SharpGenTools.Sdk
  • MSBuild tooling to integrate SharpGen and SharpPatch directly into projects
• SharpGen.Interactive
  • Legacy command line front-end for SharpGen with Windows Forms progress dialog
  • The original SharpGen application
• SharpPatch.Cli
  • Legacy command line front-end for SharpPatch
  • The original SharpCli application

• Any projects using the SDK to generate code must use new SDK-style projects with MSBuild 15.3 or higher (.NET Core 2.0 SDK or VS 2017.3)
• Make any mapping files a SharpGenMapping item in your .csproj.

• MSBuild 15.3
• Visual C++ Tools (Toolset v140 or newer)
• Windows 10.0.15063 SDK (Creators Update)
• .NET Core 2.0
• Desktop .NET Workload (for SharpGen.Interactive)
