[swift-users] Need Help with C-to-Swift (finally)

Fri Dec 11 20:21:06 CST 2015

I'm going to. Now, does this mean anything labelled func inside the struct needs tacked on as well?

Did you make the class and its methods public?

So what I'm trying to do is to put all wrappings in a separate module named Cairo. Then, I want to use those methods outside of the module named Cairo. I renamed the class to Surface and fixed all references, but for some reason it keeps saying something about Surface not present. I need to look into whether a git repo may be needed.

Nope, but you’ll need a way to specify the class inside the module (the fully-qualified type name)
Cairo.Cairo should work fine.

Is your struct named Cairo or Surface?
If Cairo is the module name, you're trying to instantiate the module.

How would you use things like cairo.moveTo() outside of the wrapping file? I've gone as far as writing a module named "Cairo," taking the methods as mentioned above out, and moving them to their own directory "tests." I have added "Cairo" as a dependency for "tests," but there appears to be something wrong when I try to call:let cairo = Cairo(format: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, width: 421, height: 410)Why can I not call Cairo()? The error:Compiling Swift Module 'test' (1 sources)/home/mgage/swift-cairo-bindings/test/main.swift:4:18: error: cannot call value of non-function type 'module<Cairo>'let cairo = Cairo(format: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, width: 421, height: 410)            ~~~~~^<unknown>:0: error: build had 1 command failuresswift-build: exit(1): ["/home/mgage/Downloads/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-01-b-ubuntu15.10/usr/bin/swift-build-tool", "-f", "/home/mgage/swift-cairo-bindings/test/.build/debug/test.o/llbuild.yaml"]
I don't know whether or not I want to translate methods into straight-up properties yet.Thanks, support here has been great so far. Cheers!--MGage--

I considered that but couldn't find a cairo_get_font_scale function quickly to complement the setter 😅
But yes, a full wrapper would transparently handle getting and setting.

For getter-setter pairs like `setLineWidth`, you might consider turning them into properties:
cairo.setLineWidth(0.1) // oldcairo.lineWidth = 0.1 // new

The answer is yes. I even managed to get a couple you didn't list on my own:
let cairo = Cairo(format: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, width: 421, height: 410)cairo.scale(10.0, y: 10.0)cairo.moveTo(29.0, y: 14.7)cairo.lineTo(37.6, y: 13.0)cairo.moveTo(37.6, y: 13.0)cairo.lineTo(30.4, y: 22.2)cairo.moveTo(30.4, y: 22.2)cairo.lineTo(29.0, y: 14.7)cairo.setLineWidth(0.1)cairo.stroke()cairo.surfaceWriteToPNG("boobs.png")
Swift is both really neat and really frustrating when learning it.

Gage,
Sorry, I just got back from class.
I’ll respond in line!

I read on cairographics.org about bindings awhile back. I think they want cairo, not surface, so we would have something like:
let cairo = Surface(format: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, width: 240, height: 80)cairo.setFontFace("serif", weight: CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD)cairo.setFontSize(32.0)cairo.setSourceRGB(0.0, g: 0.0, b: 1.0)cairo.moveTo(x: 10, y: 50)cairo.showText("Hello, World!")cairo.writeToPNG("hello.png")
Would this work the same as before without "surface" but instead "cairo”?

Absolutely! That’s just a variable name — it could be called ‘puppies’, though that’s not very readable.

I went and looked at it, and even now it looks like I want to take every function I've used in Cairo and translate it to Swift. Swift is such a...simple language compared to everything else. That being said, as a result of the specs, it is also much more verbose in terms of writing the code. Compared to other languages, it is written out instead of shoved onto a few lines. 
Is there a way to import modules into other modules? Because it looks like a weekend project that will eventually get posted by myself at http://github.com/Christoffen-Corporation.

I’d recommend having a look at the Swift package manager example again — https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/blob/master/Documentation/SystemModules.md
There’s an example of using those modules together.

I meant the code posted in the Gist link above. I don't know jack squat about qsort. I'm hoping that if I can reverse-engineer code already produced, I can apply it to other parts of Cairo.

I’ll go ahead and comment it, but I think it’s simplistic enough that it should be readable with a grasp of some Swift concepts. Perhaps it’s a good idea to look through The Swift Programming Language to figure out some of the constructs I used — they’re fairly basic constructs.
