1.11 Writing Extensions in C++
It is possible to write extension modules in C++. Some restrictions
apply. If the main program (the Python interpreter) is compiled and
linked by the C compiler, global or static objects with constructors
cannot be used. This is not a problem if the main program is linked
by the C++ compiler. Functions that will be called by the
Python interpreter (in particular, module initialization functions)
have to be declared using extern "C" .
It is unnecessary to enclose the Python header files in
extern "C" {...} -- they use this form already if the symbol
"__cplusplus" is defined (all recent C++ compilers define this
symbol).
Release 2.5.2, documentation updated on 21st February, 2008.
