Transpiles a C# subset to non .NET languages. (Powered by Roslyn)

CS2X (Under development)

Transpiles a C# subset to non .NET languages. (Powered by Roslyn)
NOTE: IL2X will be for CPU targets

Goals

This project will focus on transpiling a C# subset with a modified type system for writing GPU programs.

• HLSL (DirectX Shader Assembly Language) [D3D9.0c +]
• ALS (DirectX Shader Assembly Language) [D3D8.0 - D3D9.0c]
• GLSL (OpenGL shading language) [OpenGL2.0 / GLES2 +]
• ARB (ARB assembly language) [legacy / homebrew systems]
• CG (Cg programming language) [PSVita, Nvidia / other]
• PSSL (PlayStation Shader Language) [PS4]
• MSL (Metal Shading Language) [macOS / iOS]
• AGAL (Adobe Graphics Assembly Language)
• Custom, etc

Primary Project libraries

• CS2X.Core: .NET transpiler lib
• CS2X.CLI: CLI interface for CS2X.Core
• CS2X.Analyzer: C# syntax analyzer to limit unsuported features.
• CS2X.CoreLib: Portable CoreLib subset

Building

NOTE: To clone repo you will need the Git Large File Storage

• Prerequisites
  • VS 2022, vscode, Rider, etc
  • .NET 8

Is this project ready for general use?

No still experimental.

CS2X current state?

Great project! :)

1. CS2X is still being developed?
2. Is already in an usable state for production? What are the current limitations?

Thank you!

Great Project

Hi,
i like this "CS2X" transpiler project.
its useful.
i have Starred this project.
it needs to be improved further.

Thanks.

EXTRA - INFO : by the way, i have mentioned your project here in SO(StackOverflow) site , would you please UPVOTE it here ( please upvote my Question+Answer, both ) or please vote "Converting/transpiling..." here to Undelete it , if you find it useful or if you think it will be helpful for other users related to this type of transpiler projects . By the way, Transpiler-List can be seen from here or here or find it under my repo(s) here.
( and please downvote user Caleb's answer, as that is incorrect answer . Correct-answer must answer my questions first , My question is about "Transpiler" tools & which "transpiler" tool can keep high-level algorithms/structures intact , Question/article is NOT about language learning, when to transpile & when-not, etc.
In SO site, user Flimzy (and Caleb) doesn't give advice When "C/C++",etc to "Go" conversion related question is posted or when "C/C++" is criticized , But when "Go"-to-"C/C++",etc conversion Question is posted or when Google based products (like "Go"-language) are criticized , then those users, especially Flimzy "Close" the question & downvotes, & gives many un-asked advices, etc, Because those users are Google PUSHERS & google based product (like "Go", Google-Advertisements,etc) PUSHERS . Flimzy edited-out important text from my post criticizing Advertisements . Google Crimes^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Problems in "Go"^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}. )

EDIT : added links for new Transpiler-List site, added links on "Go"-problems, etc.

Thank you for your open source project

Thank you for your open source project, and look forward to your release as soon as possible.

What's the difference between corert and CS2X?

There's a .NET runtime names CoreRT, it has a backend calls CppCodeGen, which can also transcompile C# to C(Okay, actually that's C++). Has anyone used it? If yes, please tell me whether I should use it or CS2X.

Thank you!
