Re: [GiNaC-list] C binding for GiNaC

Hello, 22.06.2020, 16:45, "Xianwen Chen (陈贤文)" <x@chen.ac>:

I wonder if it is possible to use GiNaC in a C program?

I think it's rather non-trivial due to exceptions, smart pointers, and all other C++ stuff.

Is there a binding for that?

None I know of.

I guess there may be one, because GiNaC is used in other software, for example, Octave and Sage Math.

As far as I know Octave is written in C++, so there's no need for wrappers. On the other hand Sage builds python wrappers (with cython) instead of generic C wrappers. And Sage uses pynac (http://github.com/pynac/pynac) rather than the original GiNaC. Best regards, Alexey
