EtherCAT demo project - compiling problem

youre right it was the SYSBIOS folder, seems that everything below src is not compiled.

I don't really understand why sysbios needs an object file folder outside of the Configuration folder where all the other object files are stored.

By the way, I want to use C++ to program the Sitara application. How can I change the project to a C++ compiler?
I already tried to add a new file named *.cpp and tried to program a class in it.
but the compiler already complained about the keyword "class" there are plenty of adjustments possible for C++ in CCS but how do I use the C++ compiler?

Andreas,

It's the same compiler. Simply adding a .cpp file to your project should be enough.

thanx for the hint!

now I found the cause of the error I experienced.

this is if you #include a c++ header file in a *.c file, then the compiler complains about the c++ keywords e.g. class

I suppose the c++ extensions are automatically deactivated for a *.c file.

Yes, of course. Isn't that standard behaviour for a C project? Pure C does not allow for C++ code...rename the .c to .cpp and it will be treated as C++ code. C++ is upward compatible but you may have to be careful on correct linkage (extern "C"...).

Regards,

Of course it's clear for a c project. It's just new for me that the compiler decides by the file ending of the current file if it's a C or C++ project.
