FW: Mixing C/C++ code

[Robert Wong]

I'm a CS student working on a project that mixes C/C++ compiling both with
g++. If you have the time I was hoping you could help. I've described the
problem with some depth here:

Also, I'm a bit unclear on how the: extern "C" / extern "C++" notation
works. If I am using g++ to compile both my C and C++ code...when and which
of these should I use? Also, I read somewhere that I shouldn't use these
externs if I'm on a solaris machine, is that right?

Thank you for your time.
