You'd have to get rid of your C++ interface, e.g. by wrapping C++ into plain C, or to port NeXT runtime (the "objc4" module in Darwin) to Windows.Making a C bridge will be extremely painful as we make very extensive use of multiple inheritance and polymorphism, we already considered that but that'sa definite no... The solution wuold be to use a windows/linux gcc containing themodifications apple made. Like I said, I don't care if these changes are notaccepted in the main gcc as long as it generates code that works for everyone.
Even so, lobbying the gcc mailing lists to have the ObjC++ changes merged into the main line is probably a good idea. I believe that is the intention anyway, but the more people who say they want it, the higher the priority is likely
to become (as long as you lobby politely of course).
