objcwrapper -

Generator of Nit extern classes to wrap Objective-C services.

Description

objcwrapper is a tool to help access Objective-C classes and methods from Nit. It generates Nit code composed of extern classes and extern methods from the Objective-C FFI. The code should be valid Nit, but it may need some tweaking by hand before use.

objcwrapper takes as input preprocessed Objective-C header files. This preprocessing is usually done by combinig (or piping) calls to: gcc -E, header_keeper and header_static. See the check rules in the Makefile for example preprocessing.

Usage

Compile objcwrapper with: make
Compile the wrapper NSArray.nit from the preprocessed header NSArray.h with:
```
bin/objcwrapper -o NSArray.h NSArray.h
```
Import the generated module as usual from any Nit program. It is not recommended to modify the generated file directly, but you can redef the generated classes from other modules.
