If your code is strictly C++, you could use a bunch of templates. For
each exported function and method, you create either template function
or a template class based object. The template function itself can
then do any conversion required (through compiler's type unification).
All the required conversion get compiled into the program -- no
run-time cost and if you design it well, not too much code bloat.


This scheme cannot handle varargs, of course. You would have to write
special coverters or your own varargs stubs.
