C++ seems difficult to embed because there is no standard way to expose features that don't map well to the C calling convention. Just use `extern "C"` if you want a C API. For everything else you'd have to commit to an application binary interface first, such as GObject, COM or the CLR. You need these to define calling conventions and semantics (such as initialization, exceptions, memory and resource management) well enough that other languages can bind to them.
