An adaptor for C++ callbacks with C and Fortran libraries
This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)
Abstract
Object-oriented programming using C++ is increasingly being adopted in the development of scientific codes. A recurrent issue in this regard is the interaction of newly developed codes with existing legacy libraries written in C or Fortran. Often, one needs to pass raw function pointers to such libraries’ procedures for callback purposes. This is problematic as it conflicts with one of the cornerstones of object-oriented programming: the association of functions and data through objects. Curr...
