Hi,
I'm considering for some time now to rewrite PDX7, my 6-operator FM-synth-abstraction, as an external, because that patch is quite a resource hog. This old plan is fueled again, because Juan Linietsky now published his dx7 emulator rx-saturno, availabe @ http://reduz.com.ar/rx_saturno
The program source code is nicely modularised, so I would like to reuse a lot of the code written by Juan. Unfortunatly it is written in C++, which is no problem to me, as I know C++ better than C, but it obviously is a problem for PD.
Now my question is: How could I reuse most of the C++ code, but still have this run as a PD external? In my C++ books, the other way around (using C libraries in C++) is well explained, but I have no idea how to use C++ in C.
Do you have any pointers for me, what should I read, example code??
Thanks and bye,

hi Frank,
read GEM code, it is very readable and well documented.

I simply reused the cppextern.[h,cpp] files of the GEM package for my externals. I have just started working on a larger C++ project that should compile for both max/msp and pd, which is fairly easy. If anyone is interested i could hand over the respective definition files.
greetings, Thomas

I for one would be very interested indeed.
