Or are there deeper > issues than names of methods? I think that it is likely deeper. For instance if C++ stuff will use OpenSM structures, functions, include files, etc.. So this will automatically will add some limitations for using normal C in OpenSM core code. I highly suspect that all those "requirements" are resulted by using C++ in some third party's *proprietary* plugs. Which is fine in general, but completely unrelated to OpenSM development - I don't think that we should care.
