[gdal-dev] GDAL warp tutorial question (C vs. C++)

[Michael Sumner]

Hello, the warp tutorial  needs at least inclusion of "cpl_conv.h" for
CPLMalloc to work.

https://gdal.org/tutorials/warp_tut.html

But, I'd like to ask why it uses the style of the C examples (as per the
Raster API tutorial https://gdal.org/tutorials/raster_api_tut.html) rather
than the C++ - i.e. it uses 'GDALDatasetH hSrcDS' declarations rather than
'GDALDataset *poDataset', and all the 'GDAL<Functions>' rather than '->'
pointer syntax.

Is that recommended, or is it just old style in this tutorial (because the
apps were originally C)?

(I still get rather stuck on some of these issues, my C++ is rudimentary -
certainly I'm keen to contribute to docs and more once I understand
better).

Thanks a lot.

Best, Mike
