%description
SWIG is an interface compiler that connects programs written in C,
C++, and Objective-C with scripting languages including Perl, Python,
and Tcl/Tk. It works by taking the declarations commonly found in
C/C++ header files and using them to generate the glue code (wrappers)
that scripting languages need to access the underlying C/C++ code
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++
with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily used with
common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, and Ruby, however the
list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as Java,
OCAML and C#. Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations
(Guile, MzScheme, Chicken) are supported. SWIG is most commonly used to create
high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces,
and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG can also export
its parse tree in the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions.
