Most of the code in the Nasal subsystem itself (FGNasalSys) also still uses the legacy C APIs - this is just to explain the two approaches, to avoid unnecessary confusion. | Most of the code in the Nasal subsystem itself (FGNasalSys) also still uses the legacy C APIs - this is just to explain the two approaches, to avoid unnecessary confusion. | ||
Overall, it's a good idea to favor cppbind over the low-level approach documented here, it isn't only much more elegant, but also saves you tons of typing, too | Overall, it's a good idea to favor cppbind over the low-level approach documented here, it isn't only much more elegant, but also saves you tons of typing, too | ||
The new cppbind framework makes heavy use of modern C++, so that C++ data structures and classes/methods can now be easily exposed to Nasal space and vice versa. | |||
Implementation examples are to be found in $FG_SRC/Scripting. | |||
For example, see the most recent addition, which exposes SimGear's HTTP client code to Nasal space with less than 140 lines of code in $FG_SRC/Scripting/NasalHTTP.?xx | |||
There's still plenty of "old" code that doesn't yet use the cppbind framework - check the header inclusions at the top of the file. | |||
Some of the more straightforward things to play with would be exposing useful SG/FG classes to Nasal space, such as the SGSubsystem interface to register scripted SGSubsystems, or the autopilot system. | Some of the more straightforward things to play with would be exposing useful SG/FG classes to Nasal space, such as the SGSubsystem interface to register scripted SGSubsystems, or the autopilot system. | ||
