SWIG

SWIG empowers developers to make their C and C++ libraries accessible and scriptable from a multitude of high-level programming languages. This compiler utility automates the generation of language-specific wrappers, which serve as an intermediary layer. Consequently, you can interact with complex C++ classes and low-level C functions directly from user-friendly environments like Python, Tcl, or Octave. This is invaluable for creating plugin architectures, building command-line interfaces for native applications, or allowing users to customize software behavior with scripts. SWIG handles the technical complexities of data marshaling and function calling conventions, letting you focus on application logic rather than integration boilerplate.
