C++ module

[shuxinyang]

Quite frankly, I don't know the standard way. My way to tackle this 
problem is to add config.make to the
module like this:

========================================================

cat config.make
find $ngx_addon_dir -name "*.cc" -print |
     while read x; do
         x=$(basename $x | sed 's/\.cc//')
         cat << __END__ >> $NGX_MAKEFILE
objs/addon/mymodule/$x.o: CFLAGS += -std=c++11

__END__
     done
=========================================================


It is to change CFLAGS just for those *.cc of the module in question, 
the CFLAGS for other *.c does
not change. Of course, you need to add -lstdc++ to the lib.


This topic was discussed before, IIRC someone suggested to configure 
nginx with C++ compiler instead
of C compiler. It does not work for me for at least two reasons:

    - there are too many warnings (e.g. c++ compiler is not happy with 
the implicit cast from void* to some-type*)
    - cannot pass c++ specific flags


Thanks
