In the C/C++ languages proper, C++ can link in C code, but not vice versa, C code can not link in C++ code. So main() must be in C++. Then one can convert Guile exceptions into C++ exceptions - I do that in [1]. For the other way around, Guile C code calling C++, that is possible in gcc I recall, but unless Guile is recompiled with a special option adding the C++ exception stacks, any exception one tries pass through the Guile code will terminate the program. Possibly Guile might have a configure option adding those C++ exception stacks. 1. 1. https://secure2.storegate.com/Shares/Home.aspx?ShareID=e195dec2-1c1a-42a1-851e-da47e674d91b
