ClangSharp provides C# bindings for the Clang C/C++ compiler library, auto-generated from Clang's C headers using ClangSharpPInvokeGenerator. It exposes raw unsafe APIs plus safer type-safe abstractions, enabling .NET tooling built around C/C++ code parsing and analysis.

Use cases

• parse C/C++ source code from .NET
• generate P/Invoke bindings for native C libraries
• build C/C++ code analysis tools in C#
• access libClang APIs from managed code
• create refactoring or linting tools for C/C++ in .NET

When to choose

• you need to parse or analyze C/C++ code from a .NET application
• you want to auto-generate C# interop bindings from C headers
• you need type-safe wrappers around libClang

When to avoid

• you need Clang bindings in a language other than C#/.NET
• you only need to compile C/C++ code rather than parse it
• you want a fully managed parser without native libClang dependencies
