Mixing C and C++

David Aldrich

We are using CCS5 with CGT 7.2.1 to develop code for a SoC (6618) device. We are taking existing C code, which will provide the main() function, and will add a set of functions coded in C++. I am comfortable with how to call C++ from C, but want to check one detail.

The C++ FAQ Lite at http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/mixing-c-and-cpp.html states:

"You must use your C++ compiler when compiling main()(e.g., for static initialization)"

Now, in our scenario, where main() is in a .c file, will this condition be met using CGT?

Best regards

David,

You should be fine using the CGT in this situation. Since you plan to use C++, you may find this wiki article helpful: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Overview_of_C%2B%2B_Support_in_TI_Compilers

For the record, the above is good advice, because for some compilers, you must do that.

Thanks, but to double check, this is not necessary when using TI CGT?
