I am trying to evaluate Djinni, for generating Java and Obj-C wrappers from our C++ code.
We currently use SWIG and are evaluating other tools for wrapper generation.
Due to some restriction at my work place our C++ code is in C++-98.
We cannot migrate to C++-11 due to some customer needs.
As such I wanted to know if I can use Djinni, with C++-98.
Djinni github readme states:
Interfaces are objects with defined methods to call (in C++, passed by shared_ptr). Djinni produces code allowing an interface implemented in C++ to be transparently used from ObjC or Java, and vice versa.
I saw couple of sample's using Djinni over the internet and they all seem to use shared_ptrs with their interfaces.
Is C++-11 mandatory for using Djinni?
No, Djinni can not be used with C++98. It uses C++11 pretty extensively, both in the generated code and in the support library, so it can't support C++98.
