Yes but trying to interface between an Objective C model and C++ model
at the OO level via the C interface (non-OO) is _hard_ work. Unless,
of course, you use an automated scheme, such as the Classdesc work
Richard did.
In any case, Obj C + C++ always existed in the gcc compiler - is this
non-news?
Cheers
