First of all all our plugin targets use the flat plugin SDK. We call functions
of our static c++ libs from our plugin implementation file(s). We refuse the
C++ plugin SDK for all of our platform targets, that is correct. This may not
be necessary anymore (or was never necessary), but years ago it was an apparent
must for Cocoa. I don't have the older versions of the SDK to proof the point.
Currently, the SDK documentation contains a file Cocoa Plugins.txt, where the
FLAT PLUGIN HEADERS flag is mentioned under "creating a prefix header for
cocoa". That seems to be deceiving, and admittently leads to wrong
interpretation from our point of view. We simply use it for all targets to have
one code base, and it works.
If you are going to change this, then more work we need to do because we need
to rename many plugin-API calls to allow proper compilation. Also, we use mm
extensions together with the flat SDK, so it is not a simple changing of the
file type to make the adaptation.
