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

Sent in an improvement request (SR-202) for the way these things work. I'd hate to say this, but I don't really know how wrappers are going to be done if it won't even compile. I'm signing off for the night, if you see the aforementioned messages and have something to add on, I would encourage you to do so.

You need to import Cairo, not CCairo, in main.swift, in swift-cairo-test

I've pushed all three into three separate repos at GitHub. The first one is at:https://github.com/Christoffen-Corporation/swift-cairo-test
It hosts the test folder I've been talking about, the methods.
The next one is here:https://github.com/Christoffen-Corporation/swift-cairo-ccairo
It hosts the actual CCairo and its modulemap.
And the last one:https://github.com/Christoffen-Corporation/swift-cairo-cairo
Contains the actual wrappings, probably paired with test causing issues. I don't know, but the bits are out there as requested.

Okay, so test.swift is now main.swift, which outputs a much shorter but not better:

Gotta rename test.swift to main.swift, otherwise it'll try to compile it as a module.
This seems to be unintuitive -- we should probably file some structural bug reports to make this process more straightforward.

Your Cairo module is an executable and not a library. Don't call files main.swift for libraries.
I'll open a ticket to ensure swift build warns for this in future.

The link failure is for the constructor for your Cairo class.
I'll have to test this out myself. Can't for a few hours at least.
In the mean time try `swift build -v` for some more information.

I've made everything public, and I think the initializer needs to be public or something like that. That said, I have no idea what I need to do for this to work. Deinit doesn't seem to want to be public, so leaving that alone. I need to know why the reference to Surface won't come up.
Here's the bits for the actual Cairo module (wrappings, etc.) and all:https://gist.github.com/anonymous/72c4d2db7953c0d832c7

I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, because I'm trying to do whatever possible. Also, I did upgrade the Swift components earlier when released.

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

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.

If Cairo is the module name, you're trying to instantiate the module.

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:

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")

Sorry, I just got back from class.

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’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.
