There are a few options:

You could use global functions as handlers, and pass the object reference
through the userData parameter. The function will then use this reference
to call the actual class method.

Or, you could use one of the C++ wrappers, like Arabica.
Check out the links on http://www.libexpat.org/#wrappers.
