Using C++ Functors with Legacy C Libraries

X Abstract

The use of functors or function objects in the object oriented programming paradigm has proven to be useful in the design of scientific applications that need to tie functions and their execution context. However, a recurrent problem when using functors is their interaction with the callback mechanism of legacy C libraries. We review some of the solutions to this problem and present the design of a generic adapter that associates a C function pointer with function objects. This makes it possible to use an object-oriented style of programming and still interface with C libraries in a straightforward manner.
