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. %package runtime Summary: Runtime libraries required for dynamically loading swig-generated modules |
