Cppia support & roadmap?
Hi,
This project looks really promising, really exciting to see an alternative to hxpp!
I would like to know if it would be possible to add cppia support for instant compilation / hot-reload, would this be possible?
Overall, how complete is this project currently? What is left to do / missing?
There will probably never be support for cppia as it requires hxcpp's C++ lib to function afaik. Though, alternative scripting solutions are not off the table.
The project is mostly complete what's left to be done is API implementations of:
Sys(mostly complete)NativeInput/NativeOutput- Reflection related stuff: (
Dynamic,Type,Reflect) - Patch remaining APIs that have yet to be found
Thank you for the fast reply.
Perhaps something similar to cppia but not exactly cppia that would be compatible with reflaxe.cpp? I would like to use this project for a scripting language on top of my existing c++ codebase. Having a fast way to test a script while in development would be game changing.
I also highly dislike hxcpp and all the binding / gc mess, this project is definitely solving a massive issue. However being able to compile the haxe code instantly and run it in interpreted mode would be great. Cppia has a Jit mode which can be completely disabled (and is completely useless anyway), which should make a port possible.
What other alternative scripting solutions do you have in mind?
HScript. I hope to enable a system that allows for extern classes to be wrapped and usable automatically (not possible with either cppia or hscript atm). Performance is slower, but scripting is a development only feature that should not exist in release builds.

Oh I haven't heard of HScript! But: It is dynamically typed but allows all Haxe expressions apart from type (class,enum,typedef) declarations. do you think that you can go around the class/enum declaration limitation? or can you only call functions / instantiate classes using this?
