[GitHub] merlimat opened a new pull request #1736: C API wrapper based on C++ client library

merlimat opened a new pull request #1736: C API wrapper based on C++ client library
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pulsar/pull/1736
 
 
   ### Motivation
   
   Added plain C API for Pulsar client. 
   
   This is implemented as a super-thin wrapper on top of existing C++ client library. The same `libpulsar.so` will contain both implementations.
   
   Primary use case for this API is to enable wrapping Pulsar client library in higher level languages that have facilities to convert C APIs but not C++ code. One such example is Go language, that with `cgo` can generate bindings for C headers.
   
   Added some working examples for how to use Pulsar C API and I'll add unit tests directly in Go, to cover both wrappers at once.
