Common Lisp autowrapping facility for C and C++ libraries

CLAW

Still BETA quality. API is subject to change.

Common Lisp autowrapping facility for quickly creating clean&lean bindings to C/C++ libraries.

Usage for the brave

Building

To use claw you need:

Steps:

  • Clone claw, claw-utils and cl-resect into ~/quicklisp/local-projects
  • Build libresect.so by following instructions in libresect repo

Usage

claw (libclang actually) has known problems on SBCL, so CCL recommended. You only need CCL to generate bindings. After that, generated bindings can be used anywhere CFFI works.

In repl:

;; preload libresect.so
(pushnew :claw-regen-adapter *features*)
(ql:quickload :cffi)
(cffi:load-foreign-library "<path-to>/libresect/build/resect/libresect.so")

Now you can tinker with existing wrappers to play with claw beta version E.g. claw-olm

(ql:quickload :claw-olm/wrapper)
(claw:load-wrapper :claw-olm/wrapper)
