Can I have a SKILL function call a C or C++ function (and not an executable)?

Hi, is there a mechanism (through SKILL++ or other, but haven't found that in the doc so far) which would allow a SKILL function to call a C or C++ function from e.g. a shared library?I have a set of data-manipulation functions written in C, which I'd like to leverage on the dfII side for being possible to call from SKILL code, but don't want to have to re-code the existing functions in SKILL since they are also used through other languages and I'l like to maintain a single set of source code for them. Each of the C function is currently not available as a distinct executable either.

Thanks for any advice!

VIrtuoso does not allow the inclusion of shared libraries. If the functions were a stand alone executable, you could call them with the IPC processes commands and communicate through a pipe.
