ᐧ I'd like to learn more about the various ways of integrating LiveCode with other C++ code bases. I'd be grateful for any pointers or reading matter.
I know that there are cool plans in the rod map to make it easy to wrap low level code in LiveCode / open language: - http://livecode.com/blog/2014/07/08/the-next-generation-widgets-themes/ - http://livecode.com/blog/2014/05/29/eating-our-own-haggis/ *Open Language*: With the core refactoring almost complete (LiveCode 7.0) > we’ve started to turn our attention to the final aspect of this project > which is to open up the language for extension by anyone. We have been > prototyping for quite some time now and plans are in place to move this > project forward at a rapid pace once LiveCode 7.0 is released. We will > complete network, socket and database libraries with easy to use English > like syntax as part of the development and testing of this feature. This is > currently slated as one half of our next major release, currently > imaginatively named “8.0″. *Theme / Widgets*: Another important prototype we’ve invested time in is > codenamed “Widgets”. Our aim is to provide a means for any LiveCode > developer to extend the control set. This builds on “Open Language” making > it possible for any developer to extend the language and the UI. While > still in its infancy, we are really excited about the results which will > make LiveCode 8.0 a groundbreaking release. We’re looking forward to showing these prototypes at the upcoming > conference which we hope will give you a flavour of where the technology is > going in 2014/2015. This is going to be another special 12 months for > LiveCode! Then there used to be a way to include LiveCode in Xcode projects -- but I have not heard anything more about "embedded LiveCode": - http://mailers.livecode.com/embedded/embeddedfounderreminder.html Then of course there is the ability to fork LiveCode and integrate your own C++ code that way. *How open language compiles down to byte code?* What I'd like to know is how LiveTalk / open language compiles down to byte code. Another project I know offers several scripting languages teh compile down to LLVM byte-code: - http://llvm.org/docs/BitCodeFormat.html Does LiveCode do the same? If so, could we add LiveCode scripting to other projects that use the same process of compiling down to LLVM byte-code? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
