[Swig-user] Octave and SWIG

[Kai H. K. <Hen...@iw...>]

Hi,

I'm completely new to SWIG. I would like to interconnect some functions 
in C++ with octave. The point is that these functions pass values as 
arguments and not as return values. To initiate myself on SWIG and 
octave I'have red chapter 2,4,5, 6 partially, 10 and 27 of the official 
documentation looked into almost all header and octave related module 
files of sources I could get my hands on and searched the internet for 
corresponding examples. I understand how to use the 'in' typemaps to 
block incoming values to specific function arguments in the wrapper and 
howto to use 'argout' typemaps to specify result values from function 
arguments. My problem is that I cannot find specific information neither 
in the detailed and really well organizeddocumentation nor in the web 
what SWIG_OCTAVE_* helper function I need to get my hands on to 
disassemble arrays and matrices of octave and to convert them to double* 
as well as vice versa - as it is readily shown in various python 
examples. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance

Best Regards
Henning Koch
