In theory, it should be possible to do this, although it would be a big
pain. You'd have to write some Objective C code that passed the selectors
back to the C++ code, then call the Objective C runtime method dispatcher to
actually execute it. You'd have to link to the right libraries to get the
Objective C runtime in there. And you'd have to understand how Objective C
works to get this to work.

Frankly, I think this is more trouble than it is worth. Apple appears to be
committed to bringing back the Obj-C++ capability of their compiler. That
means, in a future version, you will be able to mix Objective C and C++ code
in the _same_ source file. This will enable you to do exactly what you want,
so if you can possibly wait for that to be available, that's your best
option.
