<H2>C++ template support</H2>
<tt>$Header$</tt><br>
<p>
This example illustrates how C++ templates can be used from Java using SWIG.
<h2>The C++ Code</h2>
Lets take a templated function and a templated class as follows:
<blockquote>
<pre>
/* File : example.h */
// Some template definitions
template<class T> T max(T a, T b) { return a&gt;b ? a : b; }
template<class T> class vector {
T *v;
int sz;
public:
vector(int _sz) {
v = new T[_sz];
sz = _sz;
}
T &get(int index) {
return v[index];
}
void set(int index, T &val) {
v[index] = val;
}
#ifdef SWIG
%addmethods {
T getitem(int index) {
return self-&gt;get(index);
}
void setitem(int index, T val) {
self-&gt;set(index,val);
}
}
#endif
};
</pre>
</blockquote>
The %addmethods is used for a neater interface from Java as the functions <tt>get</tt> and <tt>set</tt> use C++ references to primitive types. These are tricky to use from Java as they end up as a pointer in Java (Java long).
<h2>The SWIG interface</h2>
A simple SWIG interface for this can be built by simply grabbing the header file
like this:
<blockquote>
<pre>
/* File : example.i */
%module example
%{
#include "example.h"
%}
/* Let's just grab the original header file here */
%include "example.h"
/* Now instantiate some specific template declarations */
%template(maxint) max<int>;
%template(maxdouble) max<double>;
%template(vecint) vector<int>;
%template(vecdouble) vector<double>;
</pre>
</blockquote>
Note that SWIG parses the templated function <tt>max</tt> and templated class <tt>vector</tt> and so knows about them. However to generate code for use from Java, SWIG has to be told which class/type to use as the template parameter. The SWIG directive %template is used for this.
<h2>A sample Java program</h2>
Click <a href="main.java">here</a> to see a Java program that calls the C++ functions from Java.
<h2>Notes</h2>
Use templated classes just like you would any other SWIG generated Java class. Use the classnames specified by the %template directive.
<blockquote>
<pre>
vecdouble dv = new vecdouble(1000);
dv.setitem(i, 12.34));
</pre>
