The dev documentation has a little note regarding how to call C++ objects as if they were ObjC objects, thru the use of C++ smart pointers.
No real example is given, though, and I can't quite figure out how this might work.

Does anyone have experience with this or could point to a place/doc with more info on this? Thanks.

Also, what's the story about the removal of ObjC++? Has the Objective-C portion not been updated as C++ support got stronger in gcc, or what's the issue?
Smart pointers aside, are there any known work-arounds to make ObjC and C++ talk to each other?

I think Apple is trying to discourage people from instantiating C++ objects from Obj-C. I think it's to reduce the gcc C++/ObjC dependency.
Anyway, the way to do is to have C wrappers. Check omnigroup list archives for the definitive answer.

Thanks for the tip. Tried searching all of OmniGroup's Developer Resources but got no matches for "C++" or "smart pointers". Only one irrelevant match for "Objective" for that matter. :-(
I used wrappers before but smart pointers sound like a better alternative for exposing a more complex C++ class hierachy to ObjC.

Oops, looks like Omni's search function doesn't work all that well, but plenty of info on the topic is available. Just opened one of the archives and will start reading. Again, thanks for the pointer! Very helpful.
