[Asterisk-Dev] Basically a C AGI app.

[Michael Giagnocavo]

That's really cool. But how does that allow asterisk to load the module?
Also, how does that solve any of the problems of dealing with C, and the
Asterisk C API?

Check out Tiny CC,
It can compile yor C program on the fly.

Sortof like scripting in C.

I have used for this on a few ocasions. exicution speed of C, 
Instant changes like a scripting language.

Oh, there's one more thing to consider: The C API apparently has zero
compatibility standards. This means that any of your apps are subject to
breaking at any point with no warning :). At least with AGI, there's more
effort to ensure everything keeps working.

Hi,

I've been using Asterisk for some time now.  I've been
developing custom applications using Perl and PHP AGI
scripts.

I'm a C programmer by heart.  I would really like to
create the same functionality in C code.  Basically
create my own C app but at a high level like AGI.
    

Do you want to:

a) write an additional application module for Asterisk
or
b) do AGI through a program written in C instead of Perl?

Case b) is quite simple, case a) is a little harder because the Asterisk
sourcecode is not that well documented at the moment. Anyways, you can
look at the sources of applications like Goto etc. to get a feeling for
it.

Cheers
Robert
