G-Wrap is a tool (and Guile library) for generating function wrappers
for inter-language calls. It currently only supports generating Guile
wrappers for C functions.

This package provides G-Wrap TNG (to be 2.0), with the following
goals:

  * Use GOOPS, for enhanced flexibility

  * Get rid of the cruft that has accumulated, simplify where possible
    without sacrificing features

  * Be target-language agnostic; i.e. clean separation of the core and
    e.g. the Guile-specific code. New languages (perhaps even
    non-Schemes) should be easy to add.

  * Offer the current (1.3.4+) wrapping API as a compatibility layer.
Update to 1.9.3, from Greg Troxel via pkgsrc-wip. Changes since 1.3.4: Version 1.9.3 - Comes with a compatibility layer that allows GnuCash to be built with it. - Reverts the enhanced generics support, which was introduced in 1.9.2, since that currently breaks guile-gnome - Bugfixes + g-wrap-2.0-guile.pc is now generated correctly, even if the internal libffi is used. + Types used by constants are now considered when calculating the set of referenced types in a wrapset. This bug led to missing code and compile errors when a type defined in another wrapset was used by only by a constant. + On platforms which lack alloca(), the version shipped with G-Wrap should now build correctly. Version 1.9.2 - Now comes with libffi included, for systems which lack an libffi installation - SRFI module checks now work correctly, even if you do an in-tree build Version 1.9.1 - API change: destruct-value-cg is now named destroy-value-cg - Bugfixes + A bug in the latent generic code has been fixed + The error message for WCP type errors has been fixed Version 1.9.0 - Complete rewrite; too many changes to list, see the manual for the new GOOPS-based API and the guile-gnome project for an extended example. - New features: + Output arguments + Default arguments - G-Wrap should be target-language agnostic, like it was in its early days. 2004-12-03 18:06:58 +01:00			`G-Wrap is a tool (and Guile library) for generating function wrappers`
