We are happy to announce Nifty a NIF interface generator that connects
Erlang/OTP
with programs written in C. Nifty generates wrappers in form of a NIF
module for
C functions that are defined in a header file.
The tool is available at:
https://github.com/parapluu/nifty
The documentation and tutorials can be found on the webpage:
http://parapluu.github.io/nifty/
Nifty automatically resolves types and comes with a support library for type
and memory management. Additionally Nifty provides a safe remote
execution mode
that runs a NIF in a separate node. This prevents crashes like segfaults to
bring down the VM and it will prevent long running NIF functions to
interfere
with the schedulers. Nifty also supports dirty schedulers.
