Connects C/C++/Objective C to some high-level programming languages
Description
Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG) is a software
development tool for connecting C, C++ and Objective C programs with a
variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different
types of target languages including common scripting languages such as
Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby. The list of supported
languages also includes non-scripting languages such as C#, D, Go language,
Java including Android, Lua, OCaml, Octave, Scilab and R. Also several
interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme/Racket)
are supported. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted
or compiled programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for
testing and prototyping C/C++ software.
