[Python-Dev] Include C++ code in the ctypes test suite?

[Thomas Heller]

I'm currently working on a patch that adds the __thiscall calling
convention to ctypes.  This calling convention is used on Windows
for calling member functions from C++ classes.  The idea is to eventually
allow ctypes to wrap C++ classes.

To test this functionality it is required to add some C++ source code to the
ctypes private test module _ctypes_test.pyd/_ctypes_test.so.

Is it appropriate to add C++ source files to the Python repository,
or would that create too much trouble on some platforms?
