Could you please explain the advantages of C++ wrappers to me? This is an honest question. I don't understand the use of wrappers.
To my knowledge the CONs are: - tend to be out of date, especially with CVS versions - more code -> more bugs - tend to be unsupported at times - introduce new dependencies - make things slower (if not extremely well written) - the docu which is available gets useless - are usually even worse documented compared to the original lib - might not cover the complete API and thus introduce limitations the PROs are: - satisfaction of object oriented fetish I can give you many examples where using wrappers proved to be a pain and a mistake. Just take piave, I used a C++ wrapper for libdv and one for xml in the beginning, but both showed _all_ of the above disadvantages, and eventually I got rid of them all and had a better live.
