Complation problem involving namespaces. |
Hey all I have a little compilation problem I think is related to name
spaces but being new to C++ still I don't know the program
(http://rafb.net/paste/results/f1416037.html) when it is being linked
returns with "undefined reference to foo" for function in a C lib i have
linked... any Ideas?
I am attempting to link a C lib and I think the complication comes in here
also.
If it would be better I can post the program in another message. Its only
153 lines. The program in the opening comments includes the command I use
to compile this and the c version of it. The C version compiles fine by
the way.
Thanks for being there guys.

To include C headers from a C++ program, you need to place them
within an extern "C" block:
extern "C" {
#include <SomeCHeader.h>
}
This is because the C++ compiler uses name mangling (encoding the type
of the parameters into the link name of a function) to allow function
overloading. This mangling is disabled within the extern "C" block...
Cheers,
Ivan
