## Why?
|
|
|
|
The .NET ecosystem is very much lacking a good Metal binding package. Existing options are outdated or don't integrate well into cross-platform projects. This project aims to be a complete, up-to-date package that stays true to the original API while making the API easy to use and integrate into C#.
|
|
|
|
## What can you make with it?
|
|
|
|
Progress is underway to build a full set of working reimplementations of the metal-cpp samples. Thanks to the generator, the entire Metal API, from compute shaders to raytracing, should be available, although specific things may take further tweaking.

Wonderful! SharpMetal is built with .NET 8.0, and follows a couple of specific guidelines:
|
|
- Block Namespaces
|
|
- Source Generated P/Invokes
|
|
- `LibraryImport` not `DllImport`
|
|
- Use C# types where possible
|
|
- `NSInteger` -> `long`
|
|
- `NSUInteger` -> `ulong`
|
|
- Mark structs and classes with `SupportedOSPlatform` attribute
|
|
- SharpMetal is built for macOS primarily, so when there are platform-specific differences, use the macOS option
