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++. 2014-03-05 14:09 GMT+01:00 Vik Killa <vipkilla@gmail.com>:
Is there a particular reason why you would favor C++ over C? I was not aware the modules Brian West pointed out were written in C++ I looked over mod_v8 source and it doesn't look any different than C Thanks.

Here are some that are written in or use C++
mod_stress mod_mongo mod_mp4 mod_h323 mod_soundtouch mod_komp mod_opal mod_lua (wrapped switch_cpp + swig) mod_event_zmq mod_v8 mod_managed (wrapped switch_cpp + swig) mod_java (wrapped switch_cpp + swig) mod_perl (wrapped switch_cpp + swig) mod_python (wrapped switch_cpp + swig)
So use what you want really.

Hi All,
I am working on a module for Freeswitch which could benefit from C++. I have written modules before in C++ and didn't find any particular problem. However, I can't help but notice that the majority of the modules that come with Freeswitch are written in C. Is there a compelling reason to choose C over C++ for Freeswitch module development? I realise that C can produce more efficient binaries and is better suited for low latency tasks but are there any reasons aside from this?
Kind Regards,
Aaron
