You can write wrappers in "C" around C++ - unless what you need to do equates
to making an instance of C++ template. But you'll need to understand some basic
things about C++ - constructor, destructor, "placement new".
Regarding the latter - start from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placement_new .
If you implement "C" wrappers, you'll have an additional function call overhead.
I am no promoter of C++, but gtk+ is ridiculous with its reinvented object
model.
...
I suggest to read this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/why-c-is-still-out-there-946286/
recent thread. Hopefully you will understand why a "C" toolkit ultimately
can/should be slower than an equivalent C++ one.
...
I am no C++ programmer, I code mostly in Perl/C/GNU Octave, but I'm trying to
objectively see in what C++ is better than "C", and I still consider C++ to be
a very convoluted language. But, alas, feature-wise it wins over "C".

Sergei.
