The COBIA client headers provide a language binding for C++. This however is not compatible with C compilers. A good starting point for binding to other language bindings is to allow for a C-language binding exposed via the client header files.

With #ifdef cplusplus the C and C++ specific bits can be separated. There are to be C and C++ specific parts for the COBIA API itself, but also for the code generated from IDL, which requires a code generator update.

The c-binding will not include interface adapters and wrappers, as this is not possible in plain C, nor a substitute for it in terms of callable functions, as this is not practical and we do not want to promote CAPE-OPEN development in plain C.

The generated C-binding however can serve as the basis for binding to other native languages, such as FORTRAN-90 and rust (the latter via the rust's bindgen tool).
