A clang daemon process will be added in llvm 5. It's in early development but FFIG should support it in time. I think it is possible to query clangd with...

Boost python can produce bindings for C++ code. Performance comparisons would be useful. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_0/libs/python/doc/html/index.html also see https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for a lightweight alternative to boost::python.

https://github.com/google/clif is similar to FFIG. It would be useful to compare differences and similarities and add notes to the README. Issues can be added for features that FFIG is missing.

Investigate cffi for simpler Python bindings

1

I have no strong reason to think it will be better but cffi https://cffi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html could be used to create Python bindings. Maybe this would be interesting as proof-of-concept.

Tests should be organised and named to be clear about what language features they test. * Shape.h tests inheritance and exceptions. * Tree.h tests nullable subobject support. More integration style...

Currently any class that inherits from a C_API class is exposed. I don't like the implicit nature of this and it makes the FFIG.py script needlessly complicated. We should not...
