Re: compiling c code but libraries are compiled in c++

We have written cunit code for testing some APIs. defination of
those APIs are in c++ and .so library is created of them. when I
compile my cunit code it gets compiled successfully but while liking
it gives undefined reference to symbol. can anyone help me in this
matter.

the problem is the name mangling of the C++ compiler:

a extern "C" declaration around the include of C headers should
resolve the problem:

extern "C" {
#include <cunit.h>
}
