Detailed Description

Class for easier binding with other programming languages.

Class for easier binding of OpenFLUID with other programming languages, such as Python, R, JavaScript, ... This class provides common methods to open datasets, add wares paths, modify parameters and attributes, run simulations and many more. All of these methods have parameters and return values in plain old types for better interoperability with other languages, excepted for internal data usually handled as "external pointers" in bindings.

To use this header-only class

• the header <openfluid/utils/Binding.hpp> must be included in the C or C++ wrapper code specifically developped for the binded language,
• a class derived from the openfluid::utils::BindingAbstractOutErr class must be defined in order to process the standard and error console streams,
• the OPENFLUID_BINDING_DEFINE macro must be called in the C or C++ wrapper code, with the previous derived class as a parameter.

Example

#include <openfluid/utils/Binding.hpp>

class MyErrOut : public openfluid::utils::BindingAbstractOutErr
{
  public:

    void printfOut(const char* fmt, ... ) const
    {
      va_list args;
      va_start(args,fmt);
      vprintf(fmt,args);
      va_end(args);
    }

    void printfErr(const char* fmt, ... ) const
    {
      va_list args;
      va_start(args,fmt);
      vfprintf(stderr,fmt,args);
      va_end(args);
    }
};

OPENFLUID_BINDING_DEFINE(MyErrOut);

// proceed here with the use of the binding class features
