[crossfire] Building in C++?

[Nicolas Weeger]

Hello.


I just pushed branch "cpp-build" which changes all .c files to .cpp files. The 
only other changes are what was required for correctly building (adding some 
casts, renaming a few variables, things like that).

Functionally, everything is the same.


I'd like to merge those changes to master, but well, I'd like to get opinions 
before.


I don't plan on migrating to a full C++ code base with classes, inheritance & 
other things, the current code is fine.

I do plan to use C++ to replace some home-grown things (lists handling mostly 
- for new code, I don't want to always have to realloc() and check size, a 
std::vector is enough for that), and to solve issues with object* items being 
free'd while still referenced (with our nice check on "count == saved_count" 
here and there urgh).



Regards


Nicolas
