7. Swift to C++ Mapping Guide

Swift Feature C++ Implementation Status
class class with smart pointers ✅
struct struct or class ✅
protocol Abstract base class / templates ✅
extension Free functions or inheritance ✅
optional std::optional<T> ✅
throws Exception handling ✅
async/await std::future (partial) ⚠️
Codable JSON serialization ✅
@propertyWrapper Getter/setter methods ✅

8. Remaining Work

High Priority

  1. Implement RPC Methods: Convert declarations to implementations
  2. Complete Integration Tests: Achieve 90% coverage
  3. Add WebSocket Support: For real-time blockchain events

Medium Priority

  1. XEP-11 Full Support: Complete NFT functionality
  2. State Service: Implement state proof verification
  3. Performance Optimization: Profile and optimize hot paths

Low Priority

  1. Reactive Extensions: Add observable pattern support
  2. Express Extensions: Full EpicChain Express support
  3. Additional Language Bindings: Python/Java wrappers

9. Migration Guide

For Swift Developers

// Swift
let account = try Bip39Account.create(password)
let tx = try TransactionBuilder()
    .setScript(script)
    .addSigner(account)
    .sign()
// C++
auto account = Bip39Account::create(password);
auto tx = TransactionBuilder()
    .setScript(script)
    .addSigner(account)
    .sign();

Key Differences

  1. Error Handling: Exceptions vs Swift throws
  2. Memory Management: Smart pointers vs ARC
  3. Optionals: std::optional vs Swift optionals
  4. Async: Futures vs async/await
