I'm a little familar with gyp as a C++ build system from past work with nodejs/v8 C++ extensions. However it looks like this has been retired and replaced with GN as of 2016. Some basic docs are here: https://v8.dev/docs/build-gn

Another recent project, Mozolm, has selected the Bazel build system. I'm curious whether this is a better choice. Its public documentation certainly seems more fleshed out.

Perhaps start with a quick port of the TextToSocket code, expressed in the build system, following c++lint, and coded into a VSCode project.

The SAPI interface is based on COM/IDL which is a bit obtuse to understand in today's world.

Step 1: Abstract the ISpTTSEngine interface and restate it using a functional description language which is a bit higher level (C# interface? "Native" C++ interface?)

Step 2: Select a C++ coding standard for expressing that interface.

Step 3: (separate issue) Find a matching build system that can both implement that interface as well as the COM interop layer.
