Warning
Currently, CMake script supports clang-based languages only
because this method depends on mllif-cir.
For details, See docs.
You can use CMake function add_mllif_library in cmake/UseMLLIF.cmake:
add_mllif_library(<target> <language> <sources>...)as:
add_mllif_library(my-project CXX main.cxx foo.cxx)Note
language should be language identifier in CMake
It generates platform-dependent shared-object file with MSM file (MLLIF-symbol-model; it's just XML :P).
Let's assume target created with this command uses language 'A'. Bridge from host-language (B) to servant-language (A) involves from this MSM file. Then, with FFI in each language, runtime of B calls bridge between A and B. And that bridge calls runtime of A (created shared-object).
By this approach, Each language can call each other in single process, without any additional communication technics (such as TCP, Unix socket, shared memory, etc...).
