How can I export C/C++ function to skill?

Wing2

I have written a bunch of C/C++ stuff using openaccess C++ API. I would like to call the functions that I created from the SKILL (or SKILL++)interface. In other words, I want to create the langauge binding to SKILL/SKILL++. How can I achieve this?

 It will be quite painful for me to re-create these functions in SKILL/SKILL++. It is also inefficient to call it as an external program. Any pointers?

Thanks a lot!!

 

 

  • You can't. This is not supported. Linking in external code like this is not allowed for supportability reasons (it makes it impossible to debug when a crash occurs, and could destabilize the code). Normally it would be done via IPC (SKILL ipc* functions). You can also create standalone applications that access the database either using OA or using ITKDB (which gives access to the CDBA API) - but this is still for standalone applications.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
