Improving the usability of C libraries in Swift
Summary
The article explains how to safely wrap C libraries for Swift using module maps, API notes, and Swift wrappers, using WebGPU as a case study. It shows converting C enums to Swifty enums, wrapping reference-counted objects as classes, and using SwiftName to improve function and method signatures. It also describes an automated approach to generate API notes from headers to reduce manual annotations.
