[Verse-dev] Verse.net - how are the bindings generated?

[Stuart Axon]

It is interesting, just to see what types you used for which parts (the java ones will be very similar).  I'm leaning toward generating (or partly generating) a java bindings.  - For java there is javolution which supports structs, so that helps a lot.
If generation was used it could be used for .net and java... although like you I don't really have time + really verse is not my focus, but what would be built once the java stuff is ready.
I'm fairly sure that java-gnome generate (or partly generate) a lot of their bindings and this work is pretty successful.

Still the small size of v_cmd_gen.c is encoraging to me - reimplementing this in java is not out of the question (or making it output java or just doxygen comments for noodleglue).

Will investigate more as time allows.

I generate these by hand, but the wrapping is not entirely successful
(data-conversion trouble). Instead, I'm working on a complete
reimplementation (which is progressing slowly, since I have only so
little spare time after all the other spare time duties :/ ).

I don't think that my current work is of any particular use for
anybody, since I'm still stuck at the login process (which seems to be
working fine, except for the part where the verse server will eat all
your available memory within seconds and crash out, when trying to
connect with my client).
