The abbreviation "cpp" often stands for "C pre-processor". If you call "cpp" on the command line, you'll get the preprocessor; only c++ or cxx might get the C++ compiler.
The name "CxxWrapper" might thus be better. -erik On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 4:52 AM, Bart Janssens <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'd like to register the CppWrapper package: > https://github.com/barche/CppWrapper > > At the very least, I'll have to rename the github repo to CppWrapper.jl, but > while I'm at it I'd like to ask if there are any suggestions for a better > name?
