cpp: c++ uses swift language

Install swift on KaOS Linux/kubuntu

/swift/bin/swift:

exec /swift/swift/bin/swift $@

/swift/bin/swiftc:

exec /swift/swift/bin/swiftc $@

Generate cpp header with exposed swift APIs

Generate c++ header

swiftc \
	-frontend -typecheck \
	swift-code.swift \
	-module-name code_box \
	-cxx-interoperability-mode=default \
	-emit-clang-header-path code_box.hpp

Use c++ header in c++

// code_box.cpp
#include "code_box.hpp"

int main()
{
}

Compile c++ code

clang++ code_box.cpp -std=c++23 \
	-I /swift/swift/include \
	-I /swift/swift/lib/swift \
	-o code_box

c++ example

#include <iostream>
//#include "code_box.hpp"

class swift_cpp_class
{
public:
	swift_cpp_class()
	{
		std::cout << "Hello c++!" << std::endl;
	}
};

int main()
{
	swift_cpp_class swift_cpp{};
}
