Are there any recipes for wrapping a large C++ class that uses callbacks?
I would like to implement the callbacks in OCaml for obvious reasons.
Thanks, Joel

All the same as C bindings. But using C++ features one can reduce the
amount of boilerplate needed. E.g. see http://ygrek.org.ua/p/code/cxx_wrapped/cxx_wrapped.h
for a simple template class to wrap C++ objects as ocaml custom values (bindings to non-trivial
C++ lib will probably need wrapping smart_ptr's as well). Also simple tricks
like RAII for blocking_section save some typing. But all in all it is the same
manual translation.
