Objective-C++ not compiling

[Leon McNeill]

I can’t seem to get CDT compiling Objective-C++.  As soon as I rename my skeletal source from .m to .mm, compilation chokes like this:

For what it's worth, here's the compile invocation that resulted in the above:

Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

Hi, looks like there is a mistake in the objc-export.h header.

this:

#if defined(OBJC_INSIDE_BUILD)

#define OBJC_EXPORT extern "C" OBJC_WINDOWS_DLLEXPORT

#else

#define OBJC_EXPORT extern "C" OBJC_WINDOWS_DLLIMPORT 

#endif

#else

#define OBJC_EXPORT extern "C"

#endif

should be:

#if defined(OBJC_INSIDE_BUILD)

#define OBJC_EXPORT extern "C" OBJC_DLLEXPORT

#else

#define OBJC_EXPORT extern "C" OBJC_DLLIMPORT 

#endif

#else

#define OBJC_EXPORT extern "C"

#endif

That fixed it!  Until this change is committed to master, this information may be useful for other people.

Thanks!

This has been fixed in master.
