GlueGen is a compiler for function and data-structure declarations,
generating Java™ and JNI C code offline at compile time
and allows using native libraries within your Java™ application.
</p>
<p>
GlueGen also provides a comprehensive <a href="../../deployment/jogamp-next/javadoc/gluegen/javadoc/">runtime library</a> offering
<ul>
<li>Support for multi-arch and java code fat-jar deployment</li>
<ul>
<li>Native library including JNI bundle handling and Jar file cache</li>
<li>Platform architecture information retrieval, ELF parser, alignment etc</li>
</ul>
<li>Enhanced NIO buffer handling for pointer, arrays, DMA mapping etc</li>
<li>Network Uri RFC 2396, connection and resource handler to simplify asset loading</li>
<li>Bitstream, hash maps, ringbuffer, sha cumulator, reflection and threading utils</li>
<li>Abstract AudioFormat and AudioSink interfaces, concurrent locks .. and more</li>
</p>
<p>
GlueGen's compiler reads ANSI C header files
and separate configuration files which provide control over many
aspects of the glue code generation. GlueGen uses a complete ANSI C
parser and an internal representation (IR) capable of representing all
C types to represent the APIs for which it generates interfaces. It
has the ability to perform significant transformations on the IR
before glue code emission.
</p>
<p>
GlueGen can produce native foreign function bindings to Java™ as well as
<a href="../doc/GlueGen_Mapping.html#struct-mapping">map native data structures</a> to be fully accessible from Java™ including
potential calls to <a href="../doc/GlueGen_Mapping.html#struct-function-pointer-support">embedded function pointer</a>.
</p>
<p>
GlueGen supports <a href="../doc/GlueGen_Mapping.html#java-callback">registering Java™ callback methods</a>
to receive asynchronous and off-thread native toolkit events,
where a generated native callback function dispatches the events to Java™.
</p>
<p>
GlueGen also supports <a href="../doc/GlueGen_Mapping.html#oo-style-api-interface-mapping">producing an OO-Style API mapping</a> like <a href="../../jogl/doc/uml/html/index.html">JOGL's incremental OpenGL Profile API levels</a>.
</p>
<p>
GlueGen is capable to bind low-level APIs such as the Java™ Native Interface (JNI) and
the AWT Native Interface (JAWT) back up to the Java programming language.
</p>
<p>
Further, GlueGen supports <a href="../doc/GlueGen_Mapping.html#libraryonload-librarybasename-for-jni_onload-">generating `JNI_OnLoad*(..)` for dynamic and static libraries</a>, also resolving off-thread `JNIEnv*` lookup.
</p>
<p>
GlueGen utilizes <a href="https://jogamp.org/cgit/jcpp.git/about/">JCPP</a>, migrated C preprocessor written in Java™.
</p>
<p>
GlueGen is used for the JogAmp projects
<a href="../../joal/www/">JOAL</a>,
<a href="../../jogl/www/">JOGL</a> and
<a href="../../jocl/www/">JOCL</a>.
