[Quickfix-users] wrapping minimal functions

[<urb...@sb...>]

Hi,

My team is heading toward some 4.2 cross-platform API modeling of feed and 
execution we'd like to expose externally by C.  We typically code C# or Java 
before committing to Cpp, but modeling cross-platform as API using dll/elf, 
means C#, Mono or QF/J-JNI, SWIG or socket bridge does not model a true API 
or keep us near Cpp source.

We're wondering about possibly extending some of the QF dynamic functions we 
need, by abstracting / exposing duplicate C functions from within the Cpp 
source, hoping we could access the C functions more universally using Pascal 
or similar, to model the interfaces.

*** My question is if this sounds "feasible" or if others can warn of 
pitfalls, at least where limited API modeling is concerned, or if there are 
others that have done similar and might share some experience.

Our Cpp coder is swamped, so odd as the approach may sound, it would still 
benefit over time and flexibility.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Mike
