If someone put a gun to your head and told you to talk to CORBA or DCOM today, would it be better to re-implement the protocols in a modern language or dig up ancient C++ code, compile it and just talk to the C++ with language interfaces?
- p_l 3y agoReimplement the protocols, talking with C++ is more painful than implementing complete CORBA or COM or DCOM. For a bit of reference - When I was younger and more optimistic (actually maniacal phase in depression...) I figured I'd implement a C++ interop that didn't use a wrapper in C. I think I stopped when I got a waking nightmare starring GCC's IA-64 ABI vtable layout after a night of digging deep in the shittiness that is C++ exception model and its handling in IA-64 ABI.
