"C++" classes in "C" code

[Priyanshu]

Hi,

I have two C++ files (classes are defined in that with member functions).I want to use them in "C" files.

Do I need to write compatible wrapper functions for each functions defined in C++ or is there any other way to use "C++" in "C" code ?

Thanks
Priyanshu

if you compile everything as C++ you could get it working with no modification since C++ is mainly a superset of C
If the C part must be compiled with a strictly C compiler you need to write a wrapper

Thanks Bazzy, even I was thinking that I have to write wrapper functions for that, but the problem is that my class is having private instance of other class also........even though can I write wrapper.......

and second thing is that, we are using C++ compiler for all.......so I am not sure if we can restrict it for "C"......as its a legacy code, I can't do much changes....

Nearly all C++ compilers come with a C compiler. I have to ask, though: if you're using a C++ compiler for everything, why not just write it in C++?

Hi Helios,

We have a big code that is written in C, and some code is written in C++......I want to use that C++ code and write our application and then wants to use in C......that's the reason, I am struggling for the same.............
As the code size is big, I can't write again everything in C or C++.....so I have to use both........

Second thing, make files are also legacy code.....I am not sure whether it would be good Idea to change that for the same........
