I'm not a C++ expert, so I can't offer much advice here, but the 
impression I have is that what you'd need to do is to have your C++ code 
offer C APIs that can be called by the dissector.  I *assume* that a 
pointer to a C++ class instance could be cast to "void *", and a "void 
*" can be cast to a pointer to such a class, so that you could pass 
class instance information between C and C++ code; if so, you might have 
to do that.
