WORKING IN PROGRESS
LILAC is a LLVM based Interoperability LAyer Compiler - with a goal that producing bindings across languages.
Interoperability across languages always sucks developers... (Especially, For managed languages such as Java, C#, Python)
For example, between C++ and C#:
- C++/CLI couldn't support modern C++ well
- In addition, C++/CLI doesn't support GNU/Linux
- P/Invoke couldn't support C++ well because of name mangling etc.
But, with power of LLVM, we hope that LILAC will generate bindings between C++ and C# ...or what else! (Actually, For the languages not supporting LLVM, We need to implement frontend for each languages)
Let's break down language barrier!
| Language | Backend | Frontend |
|---|---|---|
| C++ | ❕ | ⭕ |
| C# | ❕ |
- ⭕ : Implemented.
- ❕ : Not implemented, but planned.
