About embedding C functions,
You can use rootcint exactly the same way as you embed C++ library. The
only difference is that you'll need to add 'extern "C"' for the C function
prototypes. Let me know if this doesn't work.
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
enum _elementHDUtype{HDU_UNKNOWN,PHDU,IMAGE,ATABLE,BTABLE,OTHER};
typedef enum _elementHDUtype elementHDUtype;
void encodeHDUtype(elementHDUtype type, char *str);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
Makecint , raw cint version of rootcint, has C embedding mode which
enables embedding C functions without adding 'extern "C"'. Rootcint
doesn't expose this capability, however, this should be simple enough.
