@head @title Using C++ in modules

It is possible to implement modules in C++. The main difference between using C++ and C is that you have to define all your implementation functions as extern "C" and, of course, use a C++ compiler such as g++ to compile and link the module.

All the instructions in section @href{Using standard C libraries in modules} apply as well.

Here is a simple C++ example module: @example #include <alore/alore.h> extern "C" AValue Greeting(AThread *t, AValue *frame) { return AMakeStr(t, "hello, world"); } A_MODULE(hellocpp, "hellocpp") A_DEF("Greeting", 0, 0, Greeting) A_END_MODULE() @end @note Implementing C++ modules has not received much testing and this section does not mention many potential issues. @end
