RE: [PHP-DEV] C++ extensions and ext_skel From: J Smith (dark_panda <email protected>)

The door has always been open, as it has always been possible. For instance,
the qtdom extension has some C++ components, as does the dotnet extension.
This just sort of facilitates the, uh, moving through said door.

If you're using ANSI/ISO-compliant (or mostly compliant) C and C++
compilers, like the gcc suite or MSVC++, there shouldn't be any problems.
(Famous last words, I know.)

I get at least two emails a week about this sort of thing, so clearly there
is interest. It seems that everyone who emails me is looking to do it on
either a personal basis or for some proprietary extension, so it's not like
PHP itself would suddenly become "polluted" with C++.
