Ouch, I suppose :-)  Explicit C++ mangling.  The alternative would be
to use ffi.set_source() instead of ffi.dlopen(), and use a C++
compiler again to produce the cffi binding.  This reduces cppyy to a
generator emitting a cffi build script.  But as you mentioned there
are additional issues, e.g. with instantiation of templates.


A bientôt,

Armin.
