wv2winrt

Given WinMD files, produce C++ code that implements COM IDispatch wrappers around the types in those WinMD files.

There are several mechanisms to filter out types from the winmd that should not have code generated. They are applied in the following order of precedence: 1. If the requireAllowForWebAttribute switch is set, then only types with the AllowForWeb attribute will be considered. 2. If the ignoreWebHostHiddenAttribute switch is set, then types with the WebHostHidden attribute will still be included. 3. Explicit include and exclude rules sorted by the length of the rule string. So more general rules are applied first followed by more and more specific rules. If rule text matches the type or namespace name, then the type is included or excluded based on the kind of rule. 4. If the explicitIncludesOnly switch is set, only the types explicitly listed by the --include switch will be included. By default, wv2winrt includes all types referenced by other included types. This applies recursively, so a type included due to this will also include all types it references. 5. If there are no explicit include rules then a type that doesn't match any previous rule (1. to 4.) is included. Otherwise it is excluded. Path(s) to winmd files containing types to generate code from/for. Path to a folder into which to place generated source code. Or `--` to write all generated code to standard out. Namespace where generated source code will be placed. If set, wv2winrt will use full namespace names for dispatch adapter source files. Use this option when the output namespace is different to the consuming project's root namespace. If set, wv2winrt will use javascript casing for projection properties, methods, and events. If set, wv2winrt won't automatically follow references from other included types. If set, wv2winrt will only generate wrappers for runtimeclasses with the AllowForWeb attribute. By default, runtimeclasses with or without the AllowForWeb attribute will be included and will have wrapper code generated. If set, wv2winrt will generate wrappers for runtimeclasses with the WebHostHidden attribute. By default, runtimeclasses with the WebHostHidden attribute will be skipped and will not have generated wrapper code. Optional precompiled header filename of the project consuming the generated source code. Optional flag to generate only the idl file. Run with this option before MIDL if the consuming project defines its own WinRT types. List of namespaces or runtimeclass names to be included in the generated output. List of namespaces or runtimeclass names to be excluded from the generated output. If set, generate verbose output including when a namespace or runtimeclass is excluded.
