or something trickier, like:

- calling C++ functions:

plugin.call<void (void)>("bar") -- no need for "extern "C"

- some auto-registraction mechanisms

plugin_registry<CodeGenerator> plugins; plugins.load("foo"); plugins.load("bar");

plugins["i386"].run(.......)

Those are some really cool DSEL ideas! I love it!

Thanks! The problem is that to implement the coolest of them: plugin.call<void (void)>("bar") I'd need a C++ mangler for all platforms, and after initial look at just gcc name mangling spec I feel a bit scared. The first syntax should work in all cases, though. - Volodya
