1) How mature is the SWIG support for wrapping a library into D?
Specifically does the above SWIG support take advantage of the
built-in C++ support features like connecting directly to
virtual
functions?
I investigated this recently. It actually work fairly well, minus
2 things:
- swig use 0 terminated sting to pass string back en forth. But
in C++, char* can be a string or a buffer, and when it is the
later, you can run into problems.
- swig generate unnecessary garbage in the binding layer.
I tried to work on it, but swig require serious ramp up to
contribute to.
