Chet - C Header Translator for Delphi
A C header to Delphi Pascal translator using libclang for accurate conversion of C libraries.
What is Chet - C Header Translator for Delphi?
Chet is a specialized tool that translates C header files (.h) into Delphi Pascal units (.pas), enabling Delphi developers to easily interface with C libraries. It leverages the Clang compiler via libclang for Delphi to parse C code, resulting in more accurate translations with fewer manual fixes compared to other translators. The tool automates the conversion of data types, functions, and conditional compilation directives, bridging the C and Delphi ecosystems.
Delphi developers who need to interface with C libraries, such as those working on multi-platform applications (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) or integrating third-party C-based APIs and SDKs into Delphi projects.
Developers choose Chet over alternatives because it uses the actual Clang compiler for parsing, which improves accuracy and handles complex C constructs like conditional compilation. It offers extensive customization options, bulk translation of entire directories, and multi-platform support from a single configuration, reducing manual effort and errors.
