Oh but it is used a lot, just not out in the open. We use it to bridge millions of lines of C and C++ with millions of lines of Perl and Python. It is quirky but really stable once you get it going.
- nerdponx 5y agoAre you able to share what kind of organization does this? What are pros and cons versus an FFI type of library?
- elteto 5y agoHow do you use an FFI with C++ classes? My understanding is that you must lower things down to C level, this is a lot of work and not all scripting languages have the same FFI. SWIG automatically translates (to a certain degree) constructs in one language to another. So a C++ class becomes a Python class. Again, it needs some work to map these things but it mostly just works.
