On most platforms, Boost.Python would work for you. The determining issue is
whether or not the C++ compiler treats "C" and "C++" linkage function
pointers the same way. If the appended program will compile with your C++
compiler, you're probably OK:

extern "C" void f() {}
void g(void (*)());
int main()
{
    g(f);
    return 0;
}
