I don't know what your application is doing, but wouldn't it be
simpler (and better, performance-wise) to define a few primitives
which mangle the C++ data and can be called by Guile code?

Have you looked at the interface generator SWIG yet?  I haven't used
it either and don't have an URL handy, but maybe it will help you.
