I'm not sure what you are looking for. As far as I can see, the point of
SWIG was to make C/C++ functions callable from a scripting language. But C
functions are already callable from Obj-C since Obj-C is a superset of C.
And in fact, the language is often referred to as Obj-C++ since you also can
mix in C++ code freely. What you can't do is map C++ classes onto Obj-C
classes. See the
http://Cocoa.mamasam.com archives for recent discussions
about this latter issue.
