Re: Re: XS or SWIG

Tahnks.
Though the discussion doesn't shed some light on what I don't understand:
Is XS able to work with C++ code?
Is SWIG able to ( answer yes). Wich one is faster to implement?
From what I read SWIG might be the choice for me since I need C++ and speed and not too much C programation...

Read perlxs, especially the "Using XS With C++" part.

The problem is getting MakeMaker to setup the compiler to compile the xs generated code as c++ code.

I asked about it @ How do I force a .cpp extension for my xs generated files?
Re: How do I force a .cpp extension for my xs generated files?

For an example, see http://wxperl.sf.net, a perl port of http://wxwindows.org "An open source C++ GUI framework to make cross-platform programming child's play. Well, almost."

Thanxs for the links.
I looked into Inline::C quickly: seems cool but not easy to use with a complete API. SWIG however seems much more straightforward (for somebody that only codes occasionnaly in C) than XS, albeit maybe less powerful.
