# Direct2D and DirectWrite C headers

Headers are generated from [Win32 Metadata][] .winmd file (included in repo).

Headers have minor changes to make them to compile as C code - whenever there is overloaded method with same
name, it has incrementing number appended to name.

For example, interface [ID2D1DeviceContext][] has [CreateBitmap][ID2D1DeviceContext-CreateBitmap] method, but
its parent interface [ID2D1RenderTarget][] also has [CreateBitmap][ID2D1RenderTarget-CreateBitmap] method - with
different arguments. So whichever method comes last is renamed to `CreateBitmap1`. In this case it will be
`ID2D1DeviceContext_CreateBitmap1` method.

Some methods have more overloads, so to use them you will need to append suffix with 2, 3, 4, 5 or larger number.

Generated headers have proper workaround for wrong return types violating COM ABI. Read
[Direct 2D Scene of the Accident][d2d-accident] for more information.

# Running generator

Run `dotnet run --project Generator`. It will write output `cd2d.h` and `cdwrite.h` files.
