3387 :: Wrap cpp class library?

• Stromberg (orginal) [2017-12-01T13:25:23+01:00] view original

  Hi,

  I'm probably a below average programmer, but I'm wondering if it is possible to wrap a c++ class library.

  I've followed the free nim in action chapter about wrapping c libraries, and bought the book after that.

  Maya has 3 ways to write plugins, c++, c# and python(wrapper), so even when using python it feels a lot like writing c++.

  I've looked into the dll here is some example signatures.

  1. class MColor __cdecl operator*(float,class MColor const & __ptr64)
  2. const MAddRemoveAttrEdit:: vftable
  3. private: __cdecl MAddRemoveAttrEdit::MAddRemoveAttrEdit(void * __ptr64,bool,bool) __ptr64

  Considering that nim doesn't have classes, could I(theoretically) wrap this into a nim library?
