dub

“Dub” is a Ruby library (ruby gem) used to create bindings to Lua (or other languages) from Doxygen generated documentation.

The idea is to use the is a very good C/C++ Doxygen parser and read the xml generated documentation to automatically build the bindings.

Features:

• class methods
• overloaded class constructors
• overloaded class methods
• class instantiation from templates through typedefs
• class alias through typedefs
• automatic resolution of template parameters
• automatic handling of default values
• class enums
• namespace enums
• group constant defines
• objects deletable from C++ or Lua (owned by both worlds)
• custom (hand made) bindings
• mixin (pseudo-inheritance: add the bindings from any header definition to any class)

As a use case, you can look at the ruby script used to generate Lua bindings for Lubyk.

If you just need to create bindings for a new class, just install with # sudo gem install dub and please look at the links above on how to use the library.
