Stuart, If you declare your functions in an 'extern "C"' block and then compile and link them with g++, I think you'd have the effect you are looking for, and your exception handling problem should also be taken care of. The 'extern "C"' block should disable the name mangling, allowing the functions to be used from a C program and using their own C compiler. Linking it with g++ will add all extra command line arguments needed to enable support for stack unwinding, etc., necessary for exception handling.

The library is distributed in both shared and static verstions. The resultant library must still be callable from C clients. PROBLEM: Any exceptions thrown result in program termination, not tranfer of control to the enclosing try/catch.
