Make Lingot library linkable from C++ #34

Closed ibancg closed 4 years ago

ibancg commented 4 years ago

Since we are splitting the core library and UI parts, we can make the library accessible from C++, by:

Adding the extern "C" keywords to the public headers.
Avoiding some C++ keywords (like, exception, try, catch, ...) in the headers.
Using snake_case for the types, so they will be distinguished from the future C++ wrappers that use the raw C types.

We are not going for a C++ UI yet, but this will ease the path.
