As Aaron pointed out C is possible. I made some attempts to integrate
some C++ code with POP11 a while ago. I don't think POP deals with the
way C++ classes are named inside the libraries. The standard way around
this is to write C wrappers of the C++:
MyClass* newMyClass(int arg1, int arg2)
{
return new MyClass(arg1, arg2)
}
void delMyClass(MyClass* obj)
{
delete obj;
}
void setA(MyClass* obj, int newval)
{
obj->setA(newval);
}
int getA(MyClass* obj)
{
return obj->getA();
}
You should be able to externalise the following C names in the standard
way. Also you will need to compile the C/C++ into shared object files.
If anyone has success in doing this please let me know. There is a tool
(called SWIG from http://www.swig.org) which could be extended to
automate this entire process, producing C/C++ interfaces to POP11 and
all the relevant wrappers from their sources.

PS. Local (Comp Sci/Bham University) users will probably want to use the
EGCS version of g++. To do this just type: setup EGCS
