dear list, Miller,
how about general c++ wrappers for making writing externals more clear and simple? Gem (or gemPlus?) seems to have this approach, I wonder if others have thought of it. Are there efficiency issues?
Well, efficiency in a sense that a wrapper will wrap, meaning one level of function calls more, beside the fact that virtual functions in C++ are slower than their "C" counterparts.
But thats not really an issue. The main issue is just who is interested enough in having a C++ interface to write such a wrapper, or extracts the existing code from Gem (giving proper credit !), bundles it up, documents it, maintains it ...
