This package aims to provide a Boost.Python-like wrapping for C++ functions and types to Julia.

The idea behind this package is that functions and types are registered in C++ code that is then compiled into a dynamic library. This dynamic library is then loaded into Julia by using the @wrapmodule macro, where the Julia part of this package uses the data provided through a C interface to generate functions and wraps all this into Julia methods automatically.

The functions are passed to Julia either as raw function pointers (for regular C++ functions that don't need argument or return type conversion) or std::functions (for lambda expressions and automatic conversion of arguments and return types).

Features

• Support for C++ functions, member functions and lambdas
• Classes with single inheritance, using abstract base classes on the Julia side
• Trivial C++ classes can be converted to a Julia isbits immutable
• Template classes map to parametric types, for the instantiations listed in the wrapper
• Automatic wrapping of default and copy constructor (mapped to copy) if defined on the wrapped C++ class
• Facilitate calling Julia functions from C++
