Hiya..

Using gcc..


Within a C file is a external function call to a C++ function. However the function name being called is not recognized. I think this may have something to do with C++ name mangling. (but then again..)

here's a quick clip of the files..

------
c file

 
extern RESERVATION REAL_SERVER(RESERVATION);

main()
 {
  blah blah blah..

  RES_TO_SERVER=REAL_SERVER(RES_TO_SERVER);

  blah blah blah..
 }

------

c++ file

RESERVATION REAL_SERVER(RESERVATION RES_FROM_CLNT)
 {
 blah blah blah   
 }

-------

when I gcc stuff the error I am getting is

 ld: Undefined symbol 
   _REAL_SERVER 

------

I hope I am being an idiot and missing the obvious!

any ideas?

Thanks

Richard Walsh
