David,
C++ does many things implicitely (behind your back)
and is therefore not suitable for embedded code
such as device drivers och loadable function.
Besides, I can see no reasons to choose C++ over C for
small things like this (except political, of course).
(Flames by private mail, please)
Hopefully we will be able to use PL/pgSQL or PL/Perl
for this in future releases of pgsql.
best regards,
Göran.
