Tools to automatically generate Go bindings for C/C++ libraries from GCC-XML informations. fork from genreflex from root.cern.ch to add go-bindings.
go-cxxdict
GoCxx is a (still experimental) tool to automatically generate Go
bindings from any C/C++ library using GCC-XML informations.
Eventually, its plugin system should allow to support the generation
of Go bindings from various sources (CLang, SWIG-XML, ...)
Its plugin system should also allow to generate bindings for other
languages than just Go.
For the moment, only the generation of Go code for the gc compiler
is supported (gccgo is planned though.)
Status
What works (ie: has been tested and has regression tests):
- simple functions
- overloaded functions
- simple classes
- classes with simple inheritance
- classes with overloaded methods
- handling of C strings (ie:
const char*)
Other C++ features may work (by pure chance) but have not been
tested yet.
Tests
Go under go-cxxdict/tests and run:
$ ./run.sh
:: tests: basics cxx-oop
:: running test [basics]...
:: running test [basics]...[ok]
:: running test [cxx-oop]...
:: running test [cxx-oop]...[ok]
