A couple of times a month, I get questions about from people looking to use
C++ with PHP. Apparently, a lot of people end up reading some post I made
to php.dev or something a year or so ago about C++, and although it worked
at the time, the procedure I describe has become stale.
I messed around a bit with ext_skel and ext/skeleton today and added an
option to ext_skel (--cpp) that creates a basic C++ extension rather than
the standard C extension. The C++ extension is pretty much the same as the
standard C extension, with the exception of some extern "C" linkage,
modifications to config.m4 and Makefile.in and a small C++ class thrown in
for fun.
Would this be worth adding to PHP proper? I have patches available for
4.2.3, but if it's worthy, I can whip it up for 4.3 or whatever. It'll save
me some email bandwidth if it could be used.
