+This tool uses CastXML for C++ parsing, whereas CppSharp relies directly on Clang and is able to get 
+very accurate information not just for C++ types and declarations, but also ABI-specific codegen
+details. SharpGenTools uses the `calli` .NET IL instruction for indirect calls which can lead to
+higher performance code in some cases. CppSharp does not use this because its not available from C#
+and needs a separate post-processing build step to modify the .NET assembly after compilation.
