Using C++ in a C File

[Chris Dyck]

Is there any way to #include a C++ file header into a c file? I'm just
getting compiler errors.

For example:

File is called test.c

\\ file CPP.H

class CcPP
{
};

\\ file test.c

#include "cpp.h"

void main()
{
Ccpp cpp = new CcPP;
}

Thank you,
Chris Dyck

No and yes.

No, because, if a .c file is supposed to be the C programming language then,
of course not, because C doesn't support things like "new".

Yes, because you can override which compiler is called for any code module.
Just tell it to invoke the C++ compiler. (Select the file, right click,
settings, Genera, always use custom build, set the command line manually.)
I really am not actually recommending this, but perhaps you have a good
reason to write confusing, hard to maintain code.

(i.e. call it what it is...use a cpp extension.)

BTW, main returns int, not void.
