C# Code Generator

/

Currently I've been working on expanding my reflection system to also include code generation. Below are some examples of the source c++ code and the generated c# code.

Currently the code generation and reflection system supports four types; Classes, Structs, functions, and enums. Classes that require reflection will be prefixed with the "BlackClass" macro, while structs have "BlackStruct". Both of these types must contain a "BLACK_TYPEINFO" macro for the generated typeinfo. Enums are prefixed with "BlackEnum", Functions "BlackFunction" , and lastly properties "BlackProperty". Any Class, Struct, or Enum that must be exported to script code must contain the "ScriptExport" meta data. Properties and functions are more diverse in their options. Properties contain three types of meta data for script export. They can be readable "ScriptReadOnly" , writable "ScriptWriteOnly", or both "ScriptReadWritable". Functions may be callable from code, using the meta "ScriptCallable"  or implementable in script "ScriptImplementable".
