Re: [julia-users] Registering / renaming CppWrapper

[Bart Janssens]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll probably do the rename to CxxWrap.jl 
tomorrow, so the ship is just about to sail ;)

The ship may have sailed on giving feedback on this name too ;-)

Personally, I just think "cxx" is cooler that "cpp". Add that to being more
correct, and it's a winner for me as an extension for C++.

Cpp sounds fine to me. That's the only file extension accepted by gnu make 
(even the expected tool name is CXX): 
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Catalogue-of-Rules.html#Catalogue-of-Rules

I think ship sailed a long time ago for cpp being an unambiguous 
abbreviation for the c-preprecessor over C++.

just my 2¢

[Bart Janssens]

I like the sound of CxxWrap.jl. I was reluctant to use Cxx, to avoid giving 
the impression there is a dependency on Cxx.jl, but in the future I may 
actually use Cxx.jl to replace the current ccall usage, so then that is no 
longer an objection.

I'll give it a few more days and then proceed with the rename to and 
registration of CxxWrap.jl

Cheers,

Bart

Re: [julia-users] Registering / renaming CppWrapper

[Morten Piibeleht]

I would second Erik, CXX seems to be the standard way of referring to C++ 
(e.g. in makefiles), and it would be consistent with Cxx.jl.

Also, maybe the shorter "CxxWrap.jl"? Sounds a tiny bit better to me ("wrap 
C++ code in Julia") whereas CxxWrapper could be interpreted as "wrapper 
around something (C++ toolchain?)".

Just my two cents,
Morten

Re: [julia-users] Registering / renaming CppWrapper

[Erik Schnetter]

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.

It's your choice. Just go ahead!

I am waiting for this nice package to be registered.

[julia-users] Registering / renaming CppWrapper

[Bart Janssens]

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? The package is meant to "wrap" a C++ library in a set of Julia 
functions and types. Unlike Cxx.jl, there is no direct way to call C++ 
functions, but a C++ file has to be written and compiled into a shared 
library that can then be loaded using CppWrapper.

Cheers,

Bart
