You should have a look at the past efforts related to the C++ interface:
- Andrei Popescu's open patches at BRL-CAD's SourceForge site.
- Andrei's development log from his last year's GSoC project:
http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Popescu.andrei1991/devlogs2014
- Related GCi tasks:
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/org/google/gci2014/brlcad
The most important references for the current status of the C++ API
are described in the wiki:
http://brlcad.org/wiki/Object-oriented_interfaces
What is needed is a concept on how to go on.

Daniel
