Hi Falks,
I wanted to introduce you to a new library I have implemented.
node-ctypes
The main objectives are:
- Full Python ctypes compatibility
- High Performance (Up to 50x faster than ffi-napi and very similar koffi performance)
Python ctypes:
from ctypes import CDLL, c_int, Structure
libc = CDLL("libc.so.6") # Linux
# libc = CDLL("msvcrt.dll") # Windows
# libc = CDLL("libc.dylib") # macOS
abs_func = libc.abs
abs_func.argtypes = [c_int]
abs_func.restype = c_int
print(abs_func(-42)) # 42
class Point(Structure):
_fields_ = [("x", c_int), ("y", c_int)]
p = Point(10, 20)
print(p.x, p.y) # 10 20node-ctypes:
import { CDLL, c_int, Structure } from 'node-ctypes';
// Traditional syntax (always available)
const libc = new CDLL("libc.so.6"); // Linux
// const libc = new CDLL('msvcrt.dll'); // Windows
// const libc = new CDLL('libc.dylib'); // macOS
const abs_func = libc.abs;
abs_func.argtypes = [c_int];
abs_func.restype = c_int;
console.log(abs_func(-42)); // 42
class Point extends Structure {
static _fields_ = [["x", c_int], ["y", c_int]];
}
const p = new Point(10, 20);
console.log(p.x, p.y); // 10 20Although it was only recently created, it is in a stable phase.
I am, of course, open to suggestions and support so that we can improve it together.
Regards,
D.
