Hello everyone, how should I interoperate with C++ in the native target of the kotlin-multiplatform? I need to call a library whose header file is C++, the library is a bit huge, so it is unrealistic to manually change it to a C header. In addition, I am a newbie to C/C++, so this question may be a bit stupid.

Not possible at the moment

manually change it to a C header

You can write on C headers for API which you need, this essentially how you do JNI for example

[Chachako]

This may be a little unrealistic because there are many files associated with them. It is a huge library with 200 header files...🥲

So if there is an automatic wrapper, should it be great? But thank you for your answer anyway

[gildor]

No, there is no automatic wrapper, at least popular one, at least for k/n

[gildor]

though there is may be some C API generator for C++, but concidering how complex C++ it may be not perfect of course
