    Sending data from a C program to a c++ application

    Hi,

    I need to send a simple integer flag value (0/1) from a C program to a C++ application. Can anybody suggest what is the simplest way of doing this?

    Regards

    Once i had to use a C library from a collegue in a C++ project.What we did was this
    Code:
    extern "C" {
    #include "BF.h"//the library in C
    }
    Then in the .cpp file i used the functions of this library as you could use a c++ function.For example if BF.h had a prototype like this
    Code:
    int function(int var);
    then in the .cpp file i would write something like this
    Code:
    extern "C" {
    #include "BF.h"//the library in C
    }
    ...
    int flag = function(value);
    ..
