I'm playing around with embedding Julia in a C application and figured out how to create and set scalars, arrays, and tuples from C successfully.
What's missing for what I'm trying to do is to create a dictionary in C that is then set to a Julia variable and used in a Julia script. However, I couldn't find any information on how to achieve that. Is that even possible? If so, what is the appropriate type in C to allocate? I guess I could just create two arrays (one holding the keys, the other the values), zip them, and create a Dict from that result (in Julia code!) -- but that would not be a pure C solution which I would prefer. Thanks for any hints and advice on that issue!
