This is the main nimterop import file to help with wrapping C/C++ source code.
Check out template.nim as a starting point for wrapping a new library. The template can be copied and trimmed down and modified as required. templite.nim is a shorter version for more experienced users.

If files included by header being processed by cImport() change and affect the generated content, they will be ignored and the cached value will continue to be used . Use cDisableCaching() to avoid this scenario during development.
nim -f was broken prior to 0.19.4 but can also be used to flush the cached content.
