That's not going to be very useful unless you have some sort of match between the data representations of old and new substrate. That in turns means marrying the two memory management strategies. (I'm not even going to begin talking about the deep intrusions of the C code into ELisp semantics which won't work in a different subtrate.) This is hard and a *lot* of work. Swig can only handle a ridiculously small amount of the work involved here. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
