inline-python

Inline Python code directly in your C++ code. Inspired by rust project inline-python!

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include "inline_py.h"
int main() {
    int a = 0, b = 0;
    python (a, b) (
        print("hello world") 
        b = a + 1 
        if a >= 0:
            b += 1 
        b *= 2 
    );
    printf("a=%d, b=%d\n", a, b);
    return 0;
}

How to use

Use the python (args...) ( ...code...) macro to write Python code directly in your C++ code.

NOTE: xmake toolchain is required. You need a xmake.lua like this:

target("sample")
    set_kind("binary")
    set_languages("c++17")
    add_rules("inline_py")
    add_packages("pybind11")
    add_files("sample.cc")

If you use mac, this line might useful add_rpathdirs("/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/")

Then you can run these command lines:

xmake build sample  # build this sample
xmake run sample  # run this sample

Using C++ variables

To reference C++ variables, let macro capture it, as shown in the example above. The output is

a=0, b=4

TODO

• Export this package to xmake-repo.
