discussion about C++ code in LVGL about lvgl HOT 6 CLOSED

header files that contain C++ code should have the extension hpp and the source files should be cpp. This allows for easy identification of what header files contain C++ code.

Ideally there should be no inclusion of any c++ code into any public C header files. If this is done it trips things up with both the documentation and possibly in binding code generation.

Hi,

Would it be done incrementally (one pull request per library) or in a single huge pull request?

This is just for discussion purposes. Because we are starting to add a lot of C++ code into the project we need to make sure we think about the bindings that rely on C code in order to generate the proper binding code.

This is to make the developers aware of a potential road block that is starting to happen.

There shouldn't be. lv_lottie.h contains only C things. Or are we leaking C++ to headers somewhere else?
