Using C++ class libraries from an interpreted language

The use of object-oriented programming, and C++ in particular, to build reusable class libraries has proven to be a very successful programming technique. However, the exible composition of class libraries to create application programs has received little focus. In this paper we present a tool, that automatically maps a C++ class hierarchy to an equivalent hierarchy in an interpreted language. Using an interpreted language oers the programmer more exibility when composing applications from existing class libraries.
