On this particular point; has anyone thought of writing a unified C-API for Tcl,
Perl, Python, Ruby, (Java) etc? What I mean by this is that each of these
languages can be extended in C, and quite often are. Also, whenever I see
interesting new C/C++ libraries implemented, I also tend to see seperate
language bindings for each of these languages. This seems like a massive
duplication of effort. Would it be possible to abstract over the C API's of
these languages to a common core of functionality which all share (e.g. getting
an interpreter handle, registering a command, setting a variable etc)? I have
only dealt with Tcl's C interface, so this may be too difficult, but it seems
like it would be a huge step forward.
In terms of problems implementing this, I can see several problems:
1. Method of calling C-coded procedures. In Tcl, arguments are passed to C
procedures as Tcl_Obj's. Obviously this would be different for Perl or Python.
Is it possible to come up with an API which can convert to the appropriate
object type, or to some intermediate type?
2. Accessing functions which are not present in all languages. I'm sure there
are API's in Tcl which only make sense with respect to Tcl, and probably the
same in the other languages. So, how would one create a general API which
allows you to call language specific APIs? In the same way one handles platform
specific APIs?
3. Versioning. Which language versions are compatible with which abstract API? I
can see this one becoming insane over time. However, there are people with much
more experience with these issues than me, so there might be a way.
4... probably more, this is all coming of the top of my head.
Hmm.. the more I think about this, the more problems it seems to present. I'd
love to be able to write an extension, and have it instantly work with x
different langauges. Also, I'd love to be able to use Python and Perl
extensions from Tcl, without loading seperate interpreters and all that. Am I
dreaming of an impossible Utopia?
