Overview

This is work in progress, in early inception phase.

A native binding generator for the Scala Native language.

For the impatient

Install requirements:

$ source requirements.sh

Now you can build and run:

$ sbt clean nativeLink 'bindgen/run test/test001.h'

Usage

$ sbt 'bindgen/run --help'

Supported toolchains

• Debian Stretch
• Ubuntu
• OSX

See: https://github.com/frgomes/scala-bindgen/blob/master/requirements.sh

How it works

In a nutshell, scala-bindgen lays on the shoulders of the giant Clang compiler (from LLVM infrastructure) for achieving the task of transforming C header files into Scala bindings. For examples on how Scala bindings look like, please see stdlib.scala.

1. scala-bindgen employs Clang (from LLVM infrastructure) for parsing C header files;
2. Clang builds an AST which represents all sources parsed;
3. scala-bindgen visits the AST and generates Scala bindings.

At the moment scala-bindgen only generates bindings for C language.
