Hi Andreas, Yes, I'm aware of (and impressed by :) Cxx.jl. The reason I went ahead with CppWrapper anyway is that I wanted something like Boost.Python does for Python: allow writing the interface completely in C++.
If I understand Cxx.jl correctly, the idea is that it becomes possible to directly access C++ using the @cxx macro from Julia. So when facing the task of wrapping a C++ library in a Julia package, authors now have 2 options: - Use Cxx.jl to write the wrapper package in Julia code - Use CppWrapper to write the wrapper completely in C++ (and one line of Julia code to load the .so) We currently have a C++ project with Python bindings done using Boost.Python, which also uses the latter approach, so translating this is more natural using CppWrapper. Maybe I should clarify this in the docs? Cheers, Bart On Monday, February 15, 2016 at 7:35:52 PM UTC+1, Andreas Noack wrote: > > Hi Bart, > > Are you aware of https://github.com/Keno/Cxx.jl?
