Abstract:
Described herein is a method and apparatus for generating automatic language bindings. The method includes receiving a request for a first program module in a first language from a second program module in a second language. A binding module is created in the second language in response to the request, where the binding module is generated from debug data of the first program module. The binding module is returned to the second program module. The second program module can then access the functionality of the first program module through use of the functions of the binding module.
