Bindings to other languages

Dyncall bindings to different programming languages are hosted on a publicly accessible mercurial repository. To checkout, use

The following is a list of quick infos about the dyncall bindings in the repository. See further projects using dyncall for the implementation of FFIs at showcase/users.

 

R

Package rdyncall contributes an advanced FFI for the R programming language and includes recent research results for dynamic binding of C APIs in cross-platform portable manner.

A paper is available that gives a general introduction to dynamic bindings and discusses the FFI facilities for R offered by the package.

Note: Daniel's original version of rdyncall was removed from CRAN a while ago due to CRAN requirements changes.
Ongoing development of rdyncall and work to get it back onto CRAN is done by Hongyuan JIA at: https://github.com/hongyuanjia/rdyncall
