[firedrake] PyOP2 code generation and C interface

[Eike Mueller]

Dear firedrakers,

am I right in saying that PyOP2 (and firedrake) uses ctypes to access the methods in the compiled C-libraries? Why did you use ctypes (and not swig, for example)? I.e. you generate c source files, compile them into .so libraries and then call that code through ctypes? Which files should I look at to understand how this works for a simple example (say a parloop)? compilation.py seems to load a .so library, but where is all the code generation?

Thanks,

Eike
