Empty generation

[ghost]

Hello there,

I hope this message finds you well. First of all, thank you for your work! I was able to build the generator and test it out, however I think there is something I miss. The generator generates empty classes i.e sokol_gfx, is there something that I miss?

Something is for sure not right.

What os+arch you using?
What parameters are you using?

I use the following parameters for sokol_gfx.h on macOS:

-i
"/Users/lstranks/Programming/sokol/sokol_gfx.h"
-o
"./sokol_gfx.cs"
-u
-l
"sokol_gfx"
-s
"/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/lib/clang/12.0.0/include"

Output: https://www.dropbox.com/s/melgx7wv2ida8lt/sokol_gfx.cs?dl=0

Windows 10 x64, can it be due to -s parameter that needs to be specified? I tried with -s and clang include path the output is the same.

C2CS.CommandLine.exe -i "sokol_gfx.h" -o "test.cs" -u -l "sokol_gfx"

Interesting just tested on Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 18363), and it works for me

-i
"C:\Users\lustr\Programming\sokol\sokol_gfx.h"
-o
"./sokol_gfx.cs"
-u
-l
"sokol_gfx"

Did you copy C2CS.CommandLine.exe to somewhere? I usually just use the tool from the bin directory .\bin\C2CS.CommandLine\Debug\net5.0

I'll probably take this opportunity as a hint that I need some CI/CD.

No no, I used it from the bin directory. Is -s parameter mandatory or the generator should work without it?

Update: I see you use Debug, I tried both Debug and Release version of the generator

[lithiumtoast]

The -s is for include directories. I would think you would only need to do use it if libclang reported a missing header like:

fatal error: 'stdint.h' file not found

What's the command line output? Is there any clang diagnostics printed to stdout or stderr?

[ghost]

Ah I see. No errors reported

[lithiumtoast]

May seem dumb, but what are the contents of sokol_gfx.h? That file is copied to bin directory? I usually just pass the full path to the sokol git repository like: C:\Users\lustr\Programming\sokol\sokol_gfx.h

[ghost]

Uff, that was it. I had not only copied sokol_gfx but other headers, but I guess that was not enough. As soon as I specified the git path as you suggested it all worked. Thank you so much.

Nice!

Btw, I noticed for sokol_gfx you will need the CBool type. You can find it here: https://github.com/lithiumtoast/c2cs/blob/master/src/dotnet/projects/production/C2CS.Core/C2CS/C/CBool.cs

I'm still trying to figure out how to add this to generated C# files in a smart way...
