[Freeswitch-dev] C or C++ Development for Freeswitch Modules

[Peter Olsson]

The most common reason to write a module in C++ is probably that the
external libraries used are written in C++. However, those modules usually
use the good-old C API for FreeSWITCH. So you usually see quite a mix of
C++/C in the actual code - but it is still compiled as C++.
