Do C functions for modules have man pages or other documentation?
I'm writing a module to gateway a middleware package to the server, but
I've been unable to find any listing, man pages, or other documentation
for the C functions available to module writers, such as
get_module_config(), palloc(), or send_http_header().
I've searched the htdocs directory, FAQ, API doc, www.apache.org, and
dev.apache.org without success. Anyone know where to find this guy?
Has anyone succeeded in compiling the server with g++? It sure would be
useful for adding C++ code to modules ...

I manage to compile Apache in C++ with g++ (I've made a module to
connect Apache with SGBDR, and the code is write with C++).
That's what I made to compile :
o add #ifdef __cplusplus in all file,
o change all variable named pool to ptr_pool

It doesn't exist. The Apache Group does not have documentation, beyond the
sketch provided two years ago by Rob Thau in API.html, for the module API.
The best you can do is to peruse the source files, especially the public
header files and the standard modules, for examples.
We are currently hoping that Apache 2.0, when it is released in perhaps
six months to a year's time, will come with complete API documentation,
but that is off in the future.
You might also consider purchasing one of the several books published on
Apache, some of which have been written by members of the Apache
Group and contain information on coding for the API.

The Apache code is not currently compatible with C++. This is a known
issue, and plans to make it so are AFAIK hazy. It is, I believe, a simple
change, but I can't say for certain off the top of my head.
