wireshark question...

Sorry for posting it on tcpdump list but I got no responses from 'wireshark-dev' so I thought I would give it a try 
here.

I have written several dissectors so far which were implemented as plugins.

I am now implementing dissectors for the payload part of one of the protocols. Without going into details, if I could 
compile some existing C++ code into my dissector it would make my life a lot easier. 

To be clear, I am not talking about simply calling from C code/plugin functions implemented in C++ library. Obviously 
this can be easily done by exposing them via extern "C". What I am talking about is a dissector which manipulates C++ 
objects.

So here is a question, has anybody been able to write a plugin dissector in C++? One thing to mention is that I do not 
care for multi platform support as long as "my" Wireshark runs on the version/type of linux I am using.
