As part of the refactoring effort in AMF, the suggestion is that AMF is
converted from C to C++. This will make it possible to take advantage of the
the higher-level language constructs in the C++ standard library, for example
std::list, std::string, std::set and std::map. By using higher level language
features like these, the code can be simplified and made easier to maintain.
Since C is basically a subset of C++, conversion from C to C++ should be fairly
straightforward. In the best case, it can be a simple matter of renaming the C
source files from *.c to *.cc and the header files from *.h to *.hh
In reality, there are a few minor differences between C and C++. For example,
functions taking no parameters are declared differently in C and C++. Also C++
has stricter type-checking than C which means that in some cases C++ may
require an explicit cast where C is happy with an implicit cast.

GCC is currently being converted from C to C++, and it looks like this
conversion is going to be merged into the upcoming GCC 4.8 to be released in
2013. Some inspiration and ideas for refactoring OpenSAF can be found when
looking at their wiki page for the C++ conversion, even though not everything
is applicable to us. Their page can be found here:
