Mark Whitlock resolved AXISCPP-210:
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
C support has been added back in for 1.5. Currently the dynamic client API and simple generated stubs are supported. More function will be added in future releases.

[jira] Commented: (AXISCPP-210) Add back in C support in 1.5
Posted by ax...@ws.apache.org.
The following comment has been added to this issue:
Author: Mark Whitlock
Created: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 7:36 AM
Body:
Tasks to add back in C support include work on the dynamic client API, the generated stubs and services. Handlers written in C are not supported.
The dynamic client API will consist of external C header files and internal source files, built into a new library, which C applications can link against. The C header files will be .h files, whereas the C++ header files will be .hpp files of the same name. The C dynamic client API will consist of global C functions. All externalised functions will be prefixed with axis. Externalised structs, enums, etc will be prefixed with Axis and externalised #defines will be prefixed with AXIS_. This is to avoid nameclashes with user code (AXISCPP-202). This C binding layer will be a thin layer written in C++ which invokes the underlying C++ engine. It will maintain the instances of the underlying C++ objects. The C programming interface should be natural for C programmers to use. Storage returned to C applications, where the equivalent C++ storage would be freed by delete by the application or in a destructor, will either be malloc'ed in the C bindings layer so that it can be freed by the application, or else a freeStorage function will be provided that will delete the storage.
The structs in AxisUserAPI.hpp will be changed to classes and their equivalents in AxisUserAPI.h will be structs. So the C binding layer will have to copy these classes into structs. (AXISCPP-149)
The generated stubs will change to make use of the new C dynamic API. Generated stub functions will be prefixed with the port name. Generated types will have different sizes in C and C++ since they contain classes in C++ and structs in C. There may be two versions of the generated stub APIs: one passing stub handles and the other not. Passing handles (pointers to opaque C++ classes) has the advantage of enabling the application to manage multiple instances of the same stub. Not passing handles has the advantage of making simple applications easier to code. So maybe both will be generated, or maybe it should be a command line switch on wsdl2ws. C applications using generated stubs should be able to use the C bindings layer to invoke instance methods on the Stub class like a C++ application can.

RE : "The structs in AxisUserAPI.hpp will be changed to classes and their equivalents in AxisUserAPI.h will be structs. So the C binding layer will have to copy these classes into structs"
I guess we will have to copy structs back to classes as well. If so, what if we have the methods to convert a class to a struct (and vice versa - using a constructor) as part of the class itself? I guess this would help keep the cohesiveness of the class; the question is would it would it blur the boundray between C binding layer and pure C++ engine?
