SharpMetal

Metal bindings for C#.

Why?

The .NET ecosystem is very much lacking a good Metal binding package. Existing options are out of date, or don't integrate well into cross-platform projects.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#.

I want to contribute!

Wonderful! SharpMetal is built with .NET 7.0, 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
