I have not actually tried it (yet), but this looks promising:

You can probably use IDL's MAKE_DLL procedure and this compiler to build
your C/C++ code from "inside IDL". And I suppose that you could use IDL's
editor as well, but if you are going to do a lot of C code, you would want
to use emacs or something with more C language syntax support.
