Has anyone had any experience in writing wrappers for older C
libraries?
What I'm looking at doing is creating a wrapper C++ object as a front
end to an older C library, also the library is not thread-safe, which
I have to somehow make safe for multi-threading (CRITICAL_SECTI ONS
maybe) for integration into a server.
Thanks,

Yes, many people have.

The C++ language does not define or support multiple threads of
execution, so that aspect of your question is off-topic here. You
need to ask in a Windows programming group.

So you mean you can't use multithreading with C++ programs in Linux?
A co-worker was telling me about using C++ classes to handle locks and
some other stuff in multithreading (I don't know how to do it yet)
that made it really easy, but I think he was talking about Windows NT
programming.

No, he means that it's not built into the Standard C++ language.
Wrappers and such for multithreading APIs are OS and/or MT
implementation specific, and are not discussed in the standard.
That said, I have several classes that wrap up some Win32 multithreading
primitives. They are implemented in Standard C++, but they are not part
of Standard C++.
C++ is a great language for this sort of wrapper, because it helps to
avoid problems such as mutexes and critical sections accidentally left
locked. But because they're OS specific, they're not in the standard. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I just wrote a very simple wrapper for the PayFlow Pro SDK (see below).
A friend of mine did this before, but I didn't have access to his
source, so I took it as a learning opportunity for me to write a C
wrapper. I did a little searching to see whether anyone had done
anything like this for Python. I didn't find anything.
I did find that PHP comes with an extension for PayFlow Pro that you can

I have an unmanaged C++ library that I need to use through C#. I created a
Managed C++ class library and through it wrote a wrapper class to call what
I need.
However, one of the methods (an Initialize function in the unmanaged
library) crashes everytime I call it. Initialize calls another function
'GetInstance' (a static member function of a class) which looks something
like:

How does the lambda library actually works. How does it know how to
evaluate _1, how does it recognize _1 as a placeholder, how does it
then calculate _1+_2, or _1+2 etc. The source files seem a bit

I have project that uses managed c++ where I use c - library, this library

Problem is that in dotNet generic is a keyword, and I cannot change this
name becouse I have only lib file and includes.
How to solve this problem?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
