C++ Structures in Scheme

 

When using a C++ class/constant/function definition within Scheme, there are two considerations:

• The name translation
• The type translation

The name translation is reasonably well-defined and easy to remember. The type translation is considerably more complex, and there are some cases which have to be handled specially.

The last section of this chapter contains a few examples.

• Name Translation
• Type Translation
  • Simple Types
  • Pointers
  • Default Arguments and Overloading
• Exceptions to the Rule
• Virtual Methods
