POSIX features disappear with g++

["Tim Magnussen" <tim at timsplace dot dk>]

Hi there. I'm writing a C++ application which needs to acces some shared memory and I'm using the Posix functions for this. The code compiles fine with gcc but when I'm using g++ it complaints that the function ftruncate is not defined.

OS: Linux 2.4.2
g++ version: 2.95.3

The code (partly):
        shm_descr = shm_open(SHM_AREA_NAME, O_CREAT|O_RDWR,S_IRUSR);
        if (ftruncate(shm_descr, 42)<0)
                perror("ftruncate");

Running gcc (gcc -lrt test.c)
        Works like a charm.

Running g++ (g++ -lrt test.c)
        test.c: In function `int main(int, char **)':
        test.c:23: implicit declaration of function `int ftruncate(...)'


Does anyone have an idea why this happens?
