Wrapper Library
Author
In the course of working on two projects that made heavy use of Angelscript, I have developed a nice sized library wrapped around it. I'm making it available here; http://www.omnisu.com/files/sil.zip
Included in that zip is a simple example to loads a script, spawn two threads, and executes them until they are both finished. There is, unfortunatly, no documentation. I'd like this thread to serve as the initial documentation. I'd also like to know ways it can be improved. I've had to jump through some ugly hoops to get stuff working the way I want, and I'd really like to know about any glaring bugs too. :)
What I consider to be the most usefull feature is the AutoBinder. Binding stuff to angelscript requires lots of calls to registration functions, and no matter how you break it up, it's dependancy bottleneck. The initialization function must no about everything you want to bind to angelscript. AutoBind removes that problem. Instead, all you have to do is invoke some macros in a cpp file, then call a single function to initialize and bind everything you want. Heres an example, included in the above zip, that binds std::string. It requires AS_UNSAFE_REFERENCES to be defined; the copy of angelscript 2.6.0 included in the zip already has this compile flag set.

A chunk of the example that loads a script, spawns a couple of threads, and executes them.
ScriptInterface::Script script("script_demo.c");script.set_global("global_one",std::string("The answer to life, the universe, and everything."));script.set_global("global_two",42);ScriptInterface::AnyList parameters_one = ScriptInterface::AnyListBuilder() + std::string("Hello World!") + 5 + 8;ScriptInterface::Thread thread_one = script.spawn_process("test",parameters_one);ScriptInterface::AnyList parameters_two = ScriptInterface::AnyListBuilder() + 3 + 7;ScriptInterface::Thread thread_two = script.spawn_process("test",parameters_two);ScriptInterface::ThreadManager thread_manager;thread_manager.add_thread(thread_one);thread_manager.add_thread(thread_two);//run for 1/100th of a second...while (!thread_manager.empty()) thread_manager.execute(0.01);

That's great.
The abstractions in my wrapper are designed for an entity and event type model. Every entity has an instance of ScriptInterface::Script, and there is a global ScriptInterface::ThreadManager. Whenever there is an event, the entity spawns a thread from it's script and adds it to the manager.
Theres a lot of trickery going on with the Any type and the AutoBinder to resolve C++ types into the names of the type in angelscript. It works perfectly; unless you happen to bind the same C++ type to two different names in angelscript. Because of this problem, it also doesn't support the 'bits' types. Theres no way for the C++ code to tell bits apart from unsigned int, since both are the exact same type in C++. This leads me to another problem that I need your help to solve. Rather; I should say to make the code less ugly. Primitive types have to be set using SetArgDWord (or float or double) whereas class types can use SetArgObject. The problem this causes is best illustrated with code.
Idealy, I would implement set_argument_any as just the final else clause. Additionally, I'm going to have to specialize set_argument_object for primitive types (or supply seperate functions for them). This isn't as big an issue as I currently only set arguments using the set_argument_any function. The rest are only there to allow a user to bypass ScriptInterface::Script's spawn_process function.
Setting globals is somewhat easier, since angelscript can supply me a void* to them. If angelscript could supply a void* to the argument, I could set them the same way. Since Any 'stores' the type of the object, it can properly cast a void* and assign to it. It's just not type safe.
For reference, setting a global from an Any:
