text: CppSharp is a tool and set of libraries which facilitates the usage of native C/C++ code
  with the .NET ecosystem.
  
  It consumes C/C++ header and library files and generates the 
  necessary glue code to surface the native API as a managed API. Such an API can be
  used to consume an existing native library in your managed code or add
  managed scripting support to a native codebase.
  
  The supported target languages at present are C# and C++/CLI.
  
  It can also be used as a library to parse native code into a syntax tree with a
  rich declaration and type information model.

  ## Libraries
  
  ### AST 
  
  Mirrors the Clang's C/C++ AST and type system classes in C# APIs.
  
  Check out [_Clang's AST introduction docs_](http://clang.llvm.org/docs/IntroductionToTheClangAST.html) for more details about its architecture.
   
   * C++ declarations
   * C++ statements / expressions
   * C++ types
   * Class object layout
   * Declaration visitors
   * Type visitors
  
  ### Parser
  
  Provides APIs for parsing of C/C++ source code into a syntax tree.
  
  * Parsing of C/C++ source code
  * Parsing of libraries archives symbols
  * Parsing of shared libraries symbols 
  * Based on the very accurate Clang C++ parser.
  
  ### Generator
  
  Generates the glue binding code from a syntax tree of the native code.
   
   * Multiple backends: C++/CLI and C# (P/Invoke)
   * Multiple ABIs: Itanium, MS, ARM, iOS
   * Multiple platforms: Windows, OS X and Linux
   * Multiple runtimes: .NET and Mono
   * C++ virtual methods overriding from managed code
   * C++ multiple inheritance by translating to C# interfaces
   * C++ std::string
   * C++ default parameter values
   * C/C++ semantic comments (Doxygen) to C# comments
   * Extensible bindings semantics via user passes and type mapping
