C++ and glue/gmodule

Hi!

I am working on C++ wrapper for libanjuta which will allow it to write
Anjuta plugins in C++.

The last problem I have is that anjuta uses glue/gmodule to load plugins
and some weird macros in every plugin to export some symbols in the
plugins. How can I wrap this to C++ in a clean or at least in a working way.

All plugins derive from Anjuta::Plugin (AnjutaPlugin) and "activate()"
is called to activate them after the class has been created. But in
addition this macro is used for the gmodule mechanism:

#define ANJUTA_SIMPLE_PLUGIN(class_name, prefix)                      \
G_MODULE_EXPORT void glue_register_components (GluePlugin *plugin);   \
G_MODULE_EXPORT GType glue_get_component_type (GluePlugin *plugin, const
char *name); \
G_MODULE_EXPORT void                                                  \
glue_register_components (GluePlugin *plugin)                         \
{                                                                     \
	prefix##_get_type (plugin);                                       \
}                                                                     \
G_MODULE_EXPORT GType                                                 \
glue_get_component_type (GluePlugin *plugin, const char *name)        \
{                                                                     \
	if (!strcmp (name, #class_name)) {                                \
		return prefix##_get_type (plugin);                            \
	} else {                                                          \
		return G_TYPE_INVALID;                                        \
	}                                                                 \
}

Thanks and regards,
Johannes
