Can C++ programs use C libraries?

:mad: Anthony, what you just wrote is flat out disrespectful! :mad: It's one thing to voice your opinion or even argue about programming concepts (even if your views do go against a vast majority of others), but to start jumping to conclusions and making demeaning comments about other people's jobs and character is innappropriate and should be unacceptable!

I have to say you get on people's nerves very easily in these forums, and I am trying to understand where you come from [i.e. if you work in a fast-paced environment, where you have to take ultimate responsibility for safety yourself, despite any mistakes other people might make downline, then I can understand why you wouldn't want to use exceptions (and can understand some of the stances you take on other topics) -- though personally I have to disagree with a lot of them!] But it has become obvious that you lack any semblance of self control and that attempting to discuss anything with you is almost entirely fruitless! I will voice right now what I bet many others are feeling: Please do not post any longer on Code Guru -- a great forum like this does not need to be polluted by characters such as yours!

What a ****nerve you have. Answering for others that you don't know and disparaging what you think they do for a living. If this latest response from you doesn't get you banned from CodeGuru, no response will. The moderator will get a call.

You have no idea where I and others work, or what we do. I have worked from the science field in computing, to being a computer science professor, to producing third party image processing libraries, and more things that I have gotten involved with. I'm no salesman and I've been in computing for 23 years.

Also, you have a lot of nerve of assuming what others do here and to disparage others here. You are as unprofessional in your responses related to programming as you are to your fellow programmer. And yes, I have been responsible for hiring programmers -- given your lack of control, you would not have been hired by me, regardless of how much you think you know.

The subject differs from the mesage body.
To Clarify:
You have a C++ program, which calls C functions in compiled library.
No problem
you encapsulate
the include file of the library or the prototypes
in
extern "C" {

your includes or protypes
and then

}

If you have compiled C++ library
and a C program which calls functions in the library, then it is a little bit more complicated, but possible.

And with Surgeonde's posting, I'm closing this thread. If the technical topic needs further discussion, a new thread can be created.
