Using C++ code with NI Robot Simulator

Is this even possible? I haven't tried yet, but has anyone gotten this to work somehow?

This is not supported this year. The C++ implementation of WPILib would need to be aware that it is running in simulation mode and to ignore the FPGA of the cRIO and communicate to the simulation process instead.

Has there been ANY known attempt of a cRIO emulator for C++? Even something simple that lit up on screen when it received power would be helpful!

There are things like this (http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/projects/wpilib_test_harness). Search the forums, I think there are one or two other similar efforts.

The only active one of these I know of is for Python coding. Our team might be making one to use in combination with a unit testing solution.
