[Fxruby-users] questions about the wrapper code of fxruby

[meinrad r. <mei...@gm...>]

hi lyle,

i studied the FXRuby src and interfaces, because i am going to wrap some 
C++ modules derived from Fox classes for ruby.

i am quite new to "wrapping" and SWIG so i would like to ask you the 
things that the SWIG docu left unclear to me:

* why did you prefer writing whole "shadow classes" (i.e FXRbGLCanvas 
for FXGLCanvas) rather than using SWIG's typemaps?
* the /FX*Virtuals/ confuse me; why is "re-declaration" of virtual 
functions necessary?

i'd appreciate some hints very much.
kind regards,
