No C++ classes and methods?
When I look at the examples I see only the C interface being used. That's so weird since 80% of the lib was written in C++!?
Is there something for C++?
No, but I don't think there could be large efforts using these APIs in C++.
Hyperscan compile time is written with C++ to make our analysis easier, but run-time is more performance critical and therefore is written in C. Ultimately we need to have C structures for run-time matching.
Plus most of our target users are C based.
I see, but I think that's only half the story and not enough argument against not just offering a proper C++ interface that performs well, I mean it's not like offering a .NET interface where performance goes out the window. This is C++ and it can be optimized very well with the most recent compilers!
