Hi,
I have a code that is compiled in C and I need to link in C++ object
files. I need to know if C++ object files created with a C++ compiler
can be linked with C object files created with the C compiler.
I have never attempted this. I have either written the entire project in
C or C++. I have mixed C code with C++ code by placing the C code in a
namespace. I have also interfaced C++ code to C code by createing a C
wrapper for the C++ object but everything was compiled with an C++ compiler.
