Go up one level in this thread
I would suggest an pure ansi-C interface. That would make it very easy to port since c++ is a new standard, and most implementations of smaller languages do only support a c api (at least without much tweaking). It is possible to construct an Object Oriented Paradigm in any language. Therefore if the c interface is designed along OOP it would be easy to ceate c++ wrapper classes. There is also the fact that most c++ compilers use vtables to implement method calls, thus creating an overhead in method calls especially on cisc processors (those interested should go to the GNU Eiffel homepage an read their papers concerning implementation of method calls). Then there is a selfish reason as Im writing a chess program called EiffelChess in Eiffel. Dan Andersson.
