Greetings,
I searched the list, and Apple's documentation, and couldn't
find an answer to this (simple) question.
I have a couple of large Cocoa projects that suddenly need to
use some C++ libraries (3D graphics stuff). I assume that I can
simply start creating Objective-C++ classes to contain this
code, but I'm wondering how to cleanly integrate the new
Objective-C++ classes with the existing Objective-C classes.
Naturally, I need to send messages from my Objective-C classes
to my Objective-C++ classes, and vice versa.
Specifically, I create an Objective-C++ class that contain C++
object references and types in its @interface declaration. How
can I #import this into an Objective-C module? The Objective-C
won't understand any of the C++ class names or types.
Conversely, when #importing Objective-C interfaces in an
Objective-C++ module, do I extern "C" { ... } the whole thing?
This is funny, really, because many decades ago I ate, breathed,
and slept C++. After discovering Java and ultimately
Objective-C, I stood up and--like a scene from Gone With the
Wind--declared that I will never write another line of C++ as
long as I live! Oh, well. The good news is that C++ doesn't
seemed to have changed much...
