A language translation / interpretation engine for cross-language compilation / execution. Run Crosslight, select languages for input and output, specify input and output files and see the magic!

Crosslight is developed as a plugin-based translation / interpretation environment. The initial goal of this repository was to translate C# code into C++ to use in time-dependent applications (with hopes of speeding up the runtime). After the rewrite, the repository is configured for typescript->C# conversion, but this will be expanded in the future.

The dependencies vary from project to project:

• For Crosslight core, the library containing primary structure definitions, latest git >=2.40 and CMake >=3.14 are required.
• For Crosslight lang, the library containing common declarations for language implementations in C++, Java >=11 is required as a transient dependency for parser code generation with ANTLRv4. OpenJDK is recommended.
• For Crosslight csharp, the library containing the C# bindings for Crosslight, .NET >= 8 is required. Dotnet SDK is recommended.
• For Crosslight lang_typescript, the typescript language implementation, no addiitonal dependencies are required.
• For Crosslight lang_csharp_ref, the reference implementations of the C# language, the native build tools for the target platform are required. For an example with Visual Studio, on Windows 11 Arm64 MSVC >=v143 ARM64/ARM64EC build tools are needed, on x64 MSVC >=v143 x64/x86 build tools are needed, etc.
• For Crosslight ast example, zlib and llvm >=14 is required, including the IR generation component.
