This is an initial cut of a tool for automatically creating shims for
C/C++ programs using the entry point annotations in Dart code. The tool
has two required arguments:
* the .dill file containing the kernel representation of the Dart code
* the base path of the header and implementation files to create
With a base path of 'dir/name', the header file is created as
'dir/name.h' and the implementation file is created as 'dir/name.cc'.
In addition, 'dir/name.h' is used as a basis for creating a
#ifndef/#define/#endif header guard around the header contents.
The created shims are specific to a single package, either
* a user-specified package, provided via '-p'/'--package', or
* the package of the main method
If the user does not specify a package and there is no main method
in the .dill file, the tool fails.
Each shim takes the following arguments in order when applicable:
* the isolate in which to perform the requested operation,
* the instantiated type of the generic class (for invoking, setting, or
getting constructors, static methods, and static fields)
* the instance (for invoking, getting, or setting instance methods and
fields)
* the type arguments (for retrieving nullable or non-nullable
instantiated types of a generic class)
* the arguments (for invoking, setting, or getting constructors,
methods, and fields)
The generated shims:
* cache the package library, types for non-generic classes, and
types for generic classes instantiated with default type arguments.
The cached persistent handles are cleared if any of the methods
are called with a different isolate from the one used to populate
the cache.
* automatically handle conversions between C int64_t <=> Dart int
and C double <=> Dart double.
By default, shims are not created for allocation or initializing
uninitialized instances. To create such shims, use the '-u' command
line argument.
Currently, shims are not created for methods that take optional
or named arguments. To report an error if a shim cannot be created
for any entry points, use the '-e' command line argument.
