Aurora Interfaces

This library implements the macros required to define Aurora style interfaces. Defines two classes. Implementable by SWIG, CppSharp, and classical OOP override event interface; and implementable by std::function for modern C++ and runtime language bindings respectively. The former is simply defined as a structure containing virtual methods as laid out by AUI_METHODs. Latterly, the base interface is extended and implemented by an array of overloaded method defintions and std::function member fields.

Example usage:

In your common header:

#if defined(MY_LIB_GEN_BINDINGS)
    #define LIB_INTERFACE(name, list) AUI_INTERFACE_IMPL(name, list)
#define 
    #define LIB_INTERFACE(name, list) AUI_INTERFACE_FWD(name, list)
#endif 

In your public API:

LIB_INTERFACE(IInputMouseSubscriber, 
    AUI_METHOD(void, onButtonPress, (AuUInt8, mb)),
    AUI_METHOD(void, onButtonTick, (AuUInt8, mb)),
    AUI_METHOD(void, onButtonUp, (AuUInt8, mb))
);

In a dedicated translation unit:

#define MY_LIB_GEN_BINDINGS
#include <...>
