SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SWIG is a compiler that integrates C and C++ with languages including
|
||
|
|
Perl, Python, Tcl, Guile, Mzscheme, Java, Ruby, PHP, and Ocaml.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SWIG reads annotated C/C++ header files and creates wrapper code (glue
|
||
|
|
code) in order to make the corresponding C/C++ libraries available to
|
||
|
|
the listed languages, or to extend C/C++ programs with a scripting
|
||
|
|
language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package contains only the swig program itself and the base
|
||
|
|
definitions; it is useless alone. You only need this package if you
|
||
|
|
are building software that uses SWIG. You will also need a swig-LANG
|
||
|
|
package, where LANG is the language you are working with
|
||
|
|
(e.g. swig-perl, swig-python, etc.).
