swig

Generate bindings between C / C++ code and various high level languages such as JavaScript, Python, C#, and more.

It uses special .i or .swg files to generate the bindings (C/C++ with SWIG directives, then outputs a C/C++ file that contains all the wrapper code needed to build an extension module.

More information.

• Generate a binding between C++ and Python:

swig -c++ -python -o {path/to/output_wrapper.cpp} {path/to/swig_file.i}

• Generate a binding between C++ and Go:

swig -go -cgo -intgosize 64 -c++ {path/to/swig_file.i}

• Generate a binding between C and Java:

swig -java {path/to/swig_file.i}

• Generate a binding between C and Ruby and prefix the Ruby module with {foo::bar::}:

swig -ruby -prefix "{foo::bar::}" {path/to/swig_file.i}
