Ancestry, acknowledgements

This python package cinterop relates loosely to prior work for interoperability between C++, R and .NET (R.NET)

cinterop features using cffi were also significantly informed by Kevin Plastow's work while he was at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology; this contribution is gratefully acknowledged.

In you have native interop needs you may also want to look at:

• the nuget package dynamic-interop-dll for .NET/native interop.
• Reference counting package refcount
• a C# library for generating interop glue code on top of C API glue code.
