It's possible, but it's a lot of work. You have to specify the
mangled name in the assembler, and perhaps deal with special
ways the this argument may be passed. In general, if I had to
do this, I'd define a C-style struct, and extern "C" functions
which manipulated it, and then wrap that in a class for C++.
The C API is generally well defined and stable, while the same
isn't necessarily true for C++.
