Thread: does anybody know if it is possible to use C++ libraries in C programs....

....????

Libraries? Like what? Some are native to C (they work with both) and some are native to C++.

C programs can call library functions created with a C++ compiler if the function name isn't mangled. In C++, you can use the command:

Code:

extern "C" {...}

To keep the compiler from decorating the function name.

what do u mean "mangled" up.

do u know any good sites where u can get extra libraries to extend c????

What kind of libraries are you looking for?

C++ mangles function names to allow for things like overloading. For instance, then function
int test(char*,int)
will get mangled to:

thanks for the link

does anybody know any other links for c other additional libraries, preferably for working with windows

That question is far too generic to answer. What do you need a library for?
