Wrapper helper

WARNING: There are still many problems with this tool. Please do NOT submit code generated directly by the tool, you should only use it as a preliminary reference.

This tool is based on libclangtooling.

It parses the AST of the library header files, generating the required structures of the wrapping library, including:

• structure definitions,
• export function signatures,
• callback function wrapping, etc. Of course, this cannot completely automate everything, it can only be used as a reference.

At the same time, this tool is also quite rough, and may even have errors.

Build

sudo apt install libclang-14-dev
cd wrapperhelper
mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..
make

Usage:

helper <filename> <libname> [guest_triple] [host_triple] -- <clang_flags>
        <filename>    : set the header file to be parsed
        <libname>     : set libname required for wrapping func
        [guest_triple]: set guest triple: can be arm32/arm64/x86/x64, default is x64
        [host_triple] : set host triple: can be arm32/arm64/x86/x64, default is arm64
        --            : mandatory
        <clang_flags> : extra compiler flags

Usage example:

./helper /usr/include/jpeglib.h libjpeg x64 arm64 -- -I /usr/lib/gcc/x86_*/12.2.0/include --include /usr/lib/gcc/x86_*/12.2.0/include/stddef.h --include /usr/include/stdio.h

You would see an output similar to the files src/wrapped/wrappedlibjpeg.c and src/wrapped/wrappedlibjpeg_private.h, should they exist.

If there are multiple header files to process, write them into a custom header file as input.

Output sample

Using the command above, we get the following (trimmed) files:

In wrappedlibjpeg_private.h:

...
GO(jpeg_quality_scaling, iFi)
...
GOM(jpeg_destroy, vFEp)
...

In wrappedlibjpeg.c:

...
typedef struct jpeg_source_mgr {
    void *next_input_byte;
    unsigned long bytes_in_buffer;
    vFp_t init_source;
    iFp_t fill_input_buffer;
    vFpI_t skip_input_data;
    iFpi_t resync_to_restart;
    vFp_t term_source;
} jpeg_source_mgr, *jpeg_source_mgr_ptr;
...
#define GO(A) \

}

    SUPER()
    #undef GO
    return NULL;
}
...

    // WARN: This function's arg has a structure ptr which is special, may need to wrap it for the host
