大多数Python和R科学包都包含编译的科学库，以加速代码并重用遗留库。虽然有几种半自动的解决方案可以包装这些已编译的库，但包装大型库的过程既麻烦又耗时。在本文中，我们介绍了AutoWIG，这是一个Python包，它使用LLVM/Clang技术和Mako模板引擎将自动编译的库包装成高级语言。我们的方法是自动的，可扩展的，并适用于复杂的C++库，由数千个类或纳入现代元编程结构。
Most of Python and R scientific packages incorporate compiled scientific libraries to speed up the code and reuse legacy libraries. While several semi-automatic solutions exist to wrap these compiled libraries, the process of wrapping a large library is cumbersome and time consuming. In this paper, we introduce AutoWIG, a Python package that wraps automatically compiled libraries into high-level languages using LLVM/Clang technologies and the Mako templating engine. Our approach is automatic, extensible, and applies to complex C++ libraries, composed of thousands of classes or incorporating modern meta-programming constructs.
