Hi , We plan to develop a SANE Backend for a scanner device. As part of the SANE backend we plan to use certain modules which are developed in C++. Re-use of the these modules will speed up our development. We also plan to submit this SANE backend to the SANE community for it to be integrated in future releases of SANE. But we saw a recommendation to use only ANSI C for the backend as per the below link http://www.sane-project.org/backend-writing.txt But this was posted way back in 2006. Does this expectation still holds good or can we use C++ code and will still be able to submit to SANE community? I also saw a question posted @ http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2005-October/014969. html It mentions about compatibility issues with old c++ compilers. As mentioned there we looked at the SANE supported platforms. We plan to support/expect our driver to work for only few latest versions of these platforms. With this limited expectation do you still see any issue or can we use c++ in our SANE backend development. Regards Ganapati
