Hi Riccardo,

thanks for the information.

Yes, I think it would be quite useful, but I guess it would have to be
mostly auto-generated, otherwise it would be too much work (and hard to
maintain).
The GSoC SWIG 2012 branch does indeed not seem to have made it into
master (https://github.com/swig/swig/tree/gsoc2012-c/).

Kind regards,
Axel

    This would make it easier to bind the toolkit to other programming

I'm not aware of any active/existing projects, but I've been also
thinking about this possibility in a couple of occasions.

Could the existing SWIG interface be perused for this?

as far as I know, this isn't (or at least wasn't) directly possible.
SWIG includes the core functionality required to generate these
wrappers, but C is not a supported target language. Last time I
checked a mostly functional but not ready to merge GSoC branch
existed, that was aimed at providing this feature, but I am not sure
it made any progress.

Best,
Riccardo
