Interop library

A collection of C# code which handles accessing a native C/C++ library from C#.

Unsafe interop layer

The lowest level of interop which closely matches the native C/C++ API. As the name implies, accessing this portion of the API usually requires the use of unsafe code in C#.

An abstraction over the unsafe layer to make it easier for C# developers to consume.

Declaration tree

An immutable tree of declarations that describes the native code being processed, the root of the tree is the TranslatedLibrary.
