cxxwrap

We have hosted the application cxxwrap in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about cxxwrap:

This package aims to provide a Boost. Python-like wrapping for C++ types and functions to Julia. The idea is to write the code for the Julia wrapper in C++, and then use a one-liner on the Julia side to make the wrapped C++ library available there. The mechanism behind this package is that functions and types are registered in C++ code that is compiled into a dynamic library. This dynamic library is then loaded into Julia, where the Julia part of this package uses the data provided through a C interface to generate functions accessible from Julia. The functions are passed to Julia either as raw function pointers (for regular C++ functions that don't need argument or return type conversion) or std: : functions (for lambda expressions and automatic conversion of arguments and return types). The Julia side of this package wraps all this into Julia methods automatically.

Features:

• Support for C++ functions, member functions and lambdas
• Classes with single inheritance, using abstract base classes on the Julia side
• Trivial C++ classes can be converted to a Julia isbits immutable
• Template classes map to parametric types, for the instantiations listed in the wrapper
• Automatic wrapping of default and copy constructor (mapped to copy) if defined on the wrapped C++ class
• Facilitate calling Julia functions from C++

Programming Language: Julia.
