Cannot add file .c to C++ project

I add file C to C++ project. They show error massage.

I add this file
Mytest.h and Mytest.c

Mytest.h have this detail

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

int TestMe(int, int);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif


Mytest.c have this detail

#include "Mytest.h"

int TestMe(int x, int y)
{
return x+y;
}

I use Visual C++ 6.0 add this C file to my C++ project . There are error message like this

--------------------Configuration: BExtract - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
Mytest.c
e:\microcomputer\mytest.c(10) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive
Error executing cl.exe.
Creating browse info file...
BSCMAKE: error BK1506 : cannot open file '.\Debug\Mytest.sbr': No such file or directory
Error executing bscmake.exe.

BExtract.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Do you know the reason of error? How to solve the problem?

Hm, try nameing your Mytest.c to "MyTest.cpp" or if that don't work than open MSVC++ File>New> Win32 Api console then after you have done that go File>New> C++ Source code and then just open your MyTest.h

hope I'm not too confusing :D

you could just rename it to .cpp like he said, because everything valid in C is valid in C++.

>because everything valid in C is valid in C++.
Ahahahahahahaha! :)

are you laughing at me?!?!? its true....

>are you laughing at me?!?!? its true....
No, I was laughing at your statement. Valid C is not valid C++, despite what you may have been told there are distinct differences. For the most part C code will compile as C++, but not always. The infamous malloc code for example:
ptr = malloc ( n * sizeof *ptr );

This is how it should be written in C, yet C++ will flag errors since malloc has no cast. You don't want to change the C code just so that it can compile as C++ because in C if you cast malloc you are causing a potential problem instead of solving one.

seriously?? i gotta try that :P. excuse my ignorance :).

Turn off precompiling. I dunno where but a guy had this problem too and they told him to do just that. Try searching for that thread.
