I am participating in an industry standards organization (CAD
Framework Initiative) which has decided to publish interface
specifications with both C and C++ language bindings.

Can anyone give me suggestions on:
1. A form for documenting C++ class libraries which would be rigorous
   enough to serve as an interface specification.

2. The pros and cons of automatically mapping a C language binding
   from a C++ binding.

3. Is there a higher-level specification language for which tools
   exist to automatically generate C and C++ bindings?

Thanks in advance,
email replies appreciated

Rowland
