@kennykerr Is scraping headers into different partitions/namespaces supported? Headers can have interdependencies, and the win32-metadata has a lot of knobs to tune which symbol should go to which partition. Sub included header can be configured to go into a sub namespace. Do u plan to support this? |

This update adds the beginnings of Clang-based header-to-rdl conversion. Using RDL for your APIs is prefereable, but if you happen to have an existing API defined in some set of header files, you can use the new
Clangbuilder to convert the C/C++ definitions into RDL definitions. For example, here's how you might turn an API defined in some .h file into a .winmd file for generating bindings in any supported language:Just a thin slice is currently working. Now we need to flesh this out to bring parity with the RDL reader/writer and generally support most/all of the quirks in the Windows SDK headers. I'll also be removing the header2rdl experimental tooling soon.
The
clangreader in the example above will convert a simple header like this:Into the following RDL:
The
readerwill then convert the RDL into the following metadata:
