Question: C# Bindings #944

Open Alex-Gamper opened 2 years ago

Alex-Gamper commented 2 years ago

Hi Adacore

Do you have any views on a C# binding to libadalang, I appreciate it would be very Microsoft.Windows specific ! things to consider would be

1) Generation (or lack of) for platforms other than Windows 2) C# to C/C++ interop , I was thinking of piggybacking of the already available C/C++ Api 3) Datatype marshaling, This seems to be OK

I've probably missed a few points

I'd definitely also be interested in a C# wrapper for the API, but I don't see why it'd necessarily need to be Windows specific as .NET Standard 2.0 works on the majority of platforms if it could be written to target that

Was this meant to be closed in that change?

No it wasn't, sorry about that!

To answer the issue: It's not something we consider doing and maintaining ourselves outside of a support contract. However it should be "relatively" easy to do from the outside, taking inspiration from existing bindings like Python, C#, and now Java/Graal bindings.
