Description
I propose to use extern "C" functions for all exposed functions.This makes it possible to use them in shared libraries and shared object files. This solves two issues which could not be addressed with the current c++ functions:
- get rid of the dictionary lookup for ffi calls
if you try to use an ffi function which is not implemented yet you will get an
error at library or shared object load time, not at runtime of the missing function - allow for using plugins in an running application
this is not quite a repl but it allows live coding in a runnig application. You can edit
the plugin module, recompile and reload it in the runnig application as shared object.
Discuss: C++-specific REPL support #27
A runnig example can be found here:
hello world
which is implemented by changed the pscpp
pscpp
and ported the ffi functions for the standard library to the C function interface
ffi
I just used Linux, so no effort was made to make it work on other platforms.
I apreciate your comments and wish you a mery christmas.
