Q: Support for POD structs

[eserg]

Hello,

If I understand the documentation correctly, and am not making mistakes in my tests, plain struct export is not supported by Scapix.

Could you please elaborate technical reasons to this decision?

Example:

struct MyData { 
  int a; 
  double b; 
};

class MyExportedClass : public scapix::bridge::object<MyExportedClass> {
public:
  MyData someData() const;
};

will result in a missing wrapper: //-(!UNKNOWN!)someData;

Thank you!

Best regards,
Sergey

I plan to add support for POD structs. The technical difficulty is related to separate compilation - deciding where to generate code for such structs. At least structs declared in the same header with one of scapix::bridge::object should not be a problem. I will add such support soon.

Thank you, Boris.

Even this support would be a very useful addition.

Struct support was added 2021-05-10 (cmodule v1.0.29).

This includes structs with members of all supported types, not only POD structs. At this time, only struct defined in the same header where it is used as a parameter or return value is supported. This limitation will be lifted in a future version.
