Has anyone developed C++ wrapper classes to ISIS calls ? I'm thinking of trying out ISIS on a project. It seems to me that I have to develop a specific set of functions that send and receive members of a class. Is this the way most people would do it ? It would seem pretty straight forward, but any tips and pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul. -- Paul O.

The object descriptions are in C++ and we've developed some methods that communicate with other objects (in other databases) using ISIS. It's all pretty buggy and on-hold, temporarily, while we are distracted by VMS, but I can send you some additional information if you are interested.

Currently Isis is usable from C++, meaning that the Isis .h files compile
cleanly when included in a C++ source program (AT&T 1.2, AT&T 2.0 and g++
(1.35 or later I think)). Clearly a much better C++ interface to Isis is
possible. One that had a more natural way to supply methods to Isis
callback routines, and that would present Isis routines and datatypes in a
more structured way using classes.
Here at the Isis Project we're pretty busy on things like improving Isis
performance and scaling. So we don't have the time to put into a proper C++
interface, but we encourage others with C++ and Isis experience to exchange
their ideas on this newsgroup. We'd like to hear what people have done,
and if there are any parts of Isis that are a particular pain for C++
users.
