Re: [PATCH] Changes to ext_skel for C++

Is there any reason the ifdef __cplusplus doesn't work? There shouldn't be any need for extra processing or config options. J Smith wrote:

How about adding something like this to skeleton.c: /* __begin_extern_c__ */ /* __end_extern_c__ */ And having the sed script in ext_skel replace them with the proper extern "C" stuff? That way there's no need for skeleton.cpp and just a few changes need to be made in skeleton.c. J Sascha Schumann wrote:

Attached is a patch to ext_skel that adds an optional argument (--cpp) that will create a PHP extension in C++ rather than C. Also attached is skeleton.cpp, which basically mirrors ext/skeleton/skeleton.c with a few modifications for using C++. I could've just made some changes to skeleton.c and done some sed work in the ext_skel script, but I think it's clearer to have them separated into two files.

I'm reluctant to duplicate the contents of the .c file for maintenance reason. Cannot you just put the C++ specific code into a /* Remove this part, if this is not a C++ extension */ #ifdef __cplusplus #endif section? - Sascha
