Bindings to scripting languages

The following 'bindings' projects are developed by team dyncall. See further projects using dyncall for the implementation of FFIs at showcase/users

 

R

Package rdyncall contributes an advanced FFI for the R programming language and includes recent research results for dynamic binding of C APIs in cross-platform portable manner. The package is on CRAN. The current version of the package is 0.7.5. See details for package on CRAN here.

A paper is available that gives a general introduction to dynamic bindings and discusses the FFI facilities for R offered by the package.

luadyncall is a lua module offering dynamic bindings to shared libraries (GL,GLU,SDL,OpenGL 3,..) similar to the rdyncall package using an improved type information format. It is still in early stage and sources are available via subversion.
