GlueGen, Native
Binding Generator for Java™
Original
document location
Git Repository
This project's canonical repositories is hosted on JogAmp.
Overview
GlueGen is a compiler
for function and data-structure declarations, generating Java™ and JNI C
code offline at compile time and allows using native libraries within
your Java™ application.
It reads ANSI C header files and separate configuration files which
provide control over many aspects of the glue code generation. GlueGen
uses a complete ANSI C parser and an internal representation (IR)
capable of representing all C types to represent the APIs for which it
generates interfaces. It has the ability to perform significant
transformations on the IR before glue code emission.
GlueGen can produce native foreign function bindings to Java™ as well
as map native data
structures to be fully accessible from Java™ including potential
calls to embedded
function pointer.
GlueGen supports registering
Java™ callback methods to receive asynchronous and off-thread native
toolkit events, where a generated native callback function dispatches
the events to Java™.
GlueGen also supports producing
an OO-Style API mapping like JOGL's
incremental OpenGL Profile API levels.
GlueGen is capable to bind low-level APIs such as the Java™ Native
Interface (JNI) and the AWT Native Interface (JAWT) back up to the Java
programming language.
Further, GlueGen supports generating JNI_OnLoad(..) for
dynamic and JNI_OnLoad_<LibraryBasename>(..) for
static libraries via LibraryOnLoad LibraryBasename,
which also provides JVMUtil_GetJNIEnv(..) to resolve the
JNIEnv* as used by Java™
callback methods.
GlueGen utilizes JCPP, migrated C
preprocessor written in Java™.
GlueGen is used for the JogAmp
projects JOAL, JOGL and JOCL.
GlueGen is part of the JogAmp
project.
The JogAmp project needs funding and we offer commercial
support!
