A binding assistant and generator for C/C++ to mruby(Under heavy WIP)
---
### How I plan for it to work:
1. Run the scanner which will generate a func.json file. This json file will contain all functions(and their params) as well as all structs(and their params)
2. Create a configuration file where you can reference specific functions and how you want their bindings to be generated differently
- for example, under what module or class a function should belong
- if a certain param should use self instead of passing in something
- ignore some functions if you dont need them
- insert bindings you made yourself
3. Run the generator with the configuration file - this generates the resulting binding code
### Opinionated Bindings
The defaults of FelBind make some assumptions on how you would like the resulting interface to look like.
- Functions get bound to methods using snake_case and kwargs
- `SomeFunction(someValue)` => `some_function(some_value: thing)`
- Functions are defined under a module(by default `Test`)
- `Test.some_function`
- Structs are defined as classes under a module(by default `Test`)
- `Test::MyStruct`
- Functions beginning with `Set` get bound as a method with `=`
- `SetSomeFunction(value)` => `some_function = value`
- Functions beginning with `Get` get bound as a method without it
- `GetSomeFunction()` => `some_function`
### What Currently Works:
- Wrapping functions that return or have parameters that are of the basic C types(int, float, char \*, etc) or their pointers(int \*, float \*, etc[except char *])
- Wrapping function that return or have parameters that are structs or their pointers
- Wrapping structs
- Giving struct objects initializers and accessers
### What Doesn't Work:
- Binding C functions that begin with `Set` are bound incorrectly
- Making accessors for structs that contain structs
- kwargs should follow snake_case naming conventions
- The config system
- Struct Aliases(might make this manually done)
### What isnt currently planned to make work:
- Functions that utilize the `* void` type
- Nested Pointers
- Functions with variable arguments
