Auto-generated C++ and Python APIs for mupdf. |
| |
C++ |
|
<
< |
- C++ API is generated by mupdf:scripts/mupdfwrap.py, which uses python-clang.
- We require clang-6 or clang-7.
|
| |
- We generate C++ wrapper functions for most fz_ and pdf_ functions. These wrapper convert fz_ exceptions into C++ exceptions, and use auto-generated per-thread fz_context's.
- We generate C++ class wrappers for most fz_ and pdf_ structs.
- We auto-detect fz_*() and pdf_*() fns suitable for wrapping as constructors, methods or static methods.
- Some generated classes have auto-generated support for iteration.
- We add various custom methods/constructors.
- Wrapper class constructors and methods provide access to 1270 fz_*() and pdf_*() fns, out of a total of 1513 wrapped fz_*() and pdf_*() functions. Most of the omitted functions don't take struct args, e.g. fz_strlcpy().

- The C++ API is built by mupdf:scripts/mupdfwrap.py. It requires clang-6 or clang-7, and python-clang.
|
| |
Python
- Python API is generated by running SWIG on the C++ API's header files.
- Python API is enough to allow implementation of mutool in Python - see mupdf:scripts/mutool.py and mupdf:scripts/mutool_draw.py.

- We work with swig-3 or swig-4.

General
- We work on nuc1 and peeved and jules-laptop.
