1 /* This script can be used to generate C# interface definitions for XPCOM
2 * interop, based on an xidl file. It is currently not very flexible and
3 * biased towards VirtualBox.
4 *
5 * To use, put the appropriate VirtualBox.xidl file in the same directory as
6 * the application, and run it while piping it's output to a file:
7 * mono InteropCodeGen.exe > VirtualBox.cs
8 * Then, for compatibility with the interop assembly generated by VS.Net, a
9 * few modifications need to be made using the following regular expressions:
10 * sed -i VirtualBox.cs "s/void LockMachine(\[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)\] ISession psession, LockType plockType);/void LockMachine([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)\] Session psession, LockType plockType);/"
11 * sed -i VirtualBox.cs "s/LaunchVMProcess(\[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType\.Interface)\] ISession psession,/LaunchVMProcess([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)] Session psession,/"
12 * sed -i VirtualBox.cs "s/\(interface IVirtualBoxErrorInfo {\)/\1\n\tvoid dummy1();void dummy2();void dummy3();void dummy4();void dummy5(); void dummy6(); void dummy7(); void dummy8(); void dummy9(); void dummy10();/"
13 * Then, a few lines need to be appended to the file:
14 * namespace VirtualBox {
15 * [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)][Guid("12F4DCDB-12B2-4EC1-B7CD-DDD9F6C5BF4D")][ComImport()]interface Session : ISession {}
16 * }
17 * Then, compile the generated file:
18 * gmcs -target:library -out:Interop.VirtualBox.XPCOM.dll VirtualBox.cs
