Hi, I have three naive questions about this:
 - have you posted somewhere this guide about converting C frontends to C++?
 - it was mentioned previously that there will be a 'tag the last "C" midas', which version is it?
 - it means that even a simple example like odb_test.c cannot be compile anymore? Even when using g++?

Something like

g++ -I $HOME/daq/packages/midas/include/ -L $HOME/daq/packages/midas/lib/ odb_test.c -l midas

is expected to fail or is just me glitching? Is it because of thread library differences?

Thanks!
