介绍

SWIG 是一个软件开发工具,能够简化不同编程语言与 C 和 C 程序连接的开发任务。 简而言之,SWIG 是一款编译器,它可以获取 C/C 声明并创建访问这些声明所需的包装器,从而可从包括 Perl、Python、Tcl、Ruby、Guile 和 Java 在内的其他语言访问这些声明。SWIG 通常不需要修改现有代码,而且通常只需几分钟即可构建一个可用的接口。

本质上,SWIG 是一个为生成代码而设计的工具,该工具可以让各种其他编程语言调用 C/C 代码。这些更高级的编程语言是 SWIG 代码生成器的目标语言,而 C 或 C 是输入语言。在运行 SWIG 时必须指定一种目标语言。这将为 C/C 和指定的目标语言生成代码,以便相互进行接口

这种将 C/C 与许多不同目标语言连接的能力是 SWIG 的核心优势和特性之一。

从一个c库开始

假设,这里有一个c代码,我们要提供给python和golang、java等调用。

下面是代码:

代码语言:javascript复制
/* File : example.c */

double My_variable = 3.0;

/* Compute factorial of n */
int fact(int n) {
  if (n <= 1)
    return 1;
  else
    return n*fact(n-1);
}

/* Compute n mod m */
int my_mod(int n, int m) {
  return(n % m);
}

你或许会想,是不是要先学习下python扩展如何写,JNI如何搞,cgo如何弄。。

但是,当你有了SWIG,这一切就变得更简单了。开始之前,我们首先需要编写一个swig接口.

swig接口

swig接口,你可以理解为就像pb文件一样,要先定义一套标准的接口(interface),然后swig负责根据这个swig interface,去生成连接其他语言的胶水代码。

代码语言:javascript复制
%module example

%{

/* Put headers and other declarations here */
extern double My_variable;
extern int    fact(int);
extern int    my_mod(int n, int m);

%}

extern double My_variable;
extern int    fact(int);
extern int    my_mod(int n, int m);
  • 接口文件包含 C 函数原型和变量声明。
  • %module 指令定义了 SWIG 将创建的模块的名称。
  • {% %} 块提供了一个位置,用于将其他代码(如 C 头文件或附加 C 声明)插入到生成的 C 包装器代码中

接口就绪后,我们可以来生成对应语言的胶水代码了。

python调用c

首先通过swig -{lang} example.i 生成wrap胶水代码。

代码语言:javascript复制
swig -python example.i

这里会生成;

  • example_wrap.c 连接c代码的wrap
  • example.py 可以类比GRPC生成的访问wrap的代码。

我们来看下生成的包装代码example_wrap.c

可以看到,自动生成的wrap代码为interface里的函数,变量都生成了包装函数,通过extern "C" 实现wrap函数导出,后续的其他编程语言可以通过访问这些导出的wrap函数,实现访问原来的c函数。

编译模块

我们现在来生成一个python代码模块。

  • swig -python example.i 会生成一个c包装代码example_wrap.c 和python 库代码example.py
  • example.py 里的函数定义和interface一致,实际上里面有代码去访问之前生成的wrap接口。
  • gcc -c -fpic example.c example_wrap.c -I/root/anaconda3/include/python3.9 这里编译代码,需要指定下python include代码,根据实际位置指定

与CMake等build system集成

swig支持与cmake等集成,我们编写一个cmakelists.txt文件

golang调用c

Go 并不支持直接调用用 C/C 编写的函数。cgo 程序可用于生成调用 C 代码的包装器,但目前没有直接调用 C 代码的简单方式。SWIG 填补了这一空白。

默认情况下 SWIG 会生成可以直接被 go build 使用的文件。 Go 需要大于1.2 版本。

同样上面的example.i, 我们可以

代码语言:javascript复制
swig -go example.i
go install

上面的命令,会生成example.go

	return swig_r
}

可以看到,生成的代码默认还是通过cgo去调用swig生成的包装器wrap代码。

本质上,SWIG和我们常用的GRPC起到类似的作用:-)

总结

SWIG 建立起java、python等其他高级编程语言调用c/c 代码的桥梁,可以不用了解JNI、cgo等复杂的跨语言调用知识,实现一次编写接口,同步生成多语言接口。
