Greetings,
I am working on a project that is being developed in C. I have found a C++ static library that I would like to use with it.
What would be the best way to handle this?
One way I've got it to work is to rename all the C source files to .cpp. Is this an acceptable way to handle the situation?
Thanks in advance.
>Is this an acceptable way to handle the situation?
Not if you want to keep working with C. Usually when you change the extension to match C++ the compiler will think that's what you want and compile as C++. The best way to handle the situation is to either find the same library for C, or modify the current library (if the source is included) so that it can be compiled as straight C. Mixing C with C++ can and is often done, but mixing C++ with C is iffy at best.
