SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in
|
||
C, C++, and Objective-C with a variety of high-level programming
|
||
languages. SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages
|
||
such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, Guile and MzScheme, however the list of
|
||
<a href="compat.html#SupportedLanguages">supported languages</a> also includes
|
||
non-scripting languages such as Java and Eiffel. SWIG is most
|
||
commonly used to create high-level interpreted programming
|
||
environments and as a tool for building user interfaces. SWIG may be
|
||
freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial and
|
||
noncommercial use.

<h3>Important Notice</h3>
|
||
|
||
SWIG is currently in a state of redevelopment in which substantial
|
||
parts of the system are being reimplemented. This work can be found
|
||
in the SWIG1.3 series of releases. If you are concerned about
|
||
stability or are a first-time user, you may want to download some
|
||
variant of SWIG1.1 instead. Caveat--SWIG1.1 may not be compatible
|
||
with recent releases of certain scripting languages such as Perl 5.6
|
||
and Guile. Note: These changes only pertain to the implementation of
|
||
SWIG (the new version continues to support C++ wrappers).
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
SWIG is an all volunteer effort. We are always looking for fearless people with
|
||
an abundance of spare time.
