Using xilkernel with C++

Hi, is there a way to get the Xilkernel to run with a C++ application? I didn't find any option for this in the XPS "Software Platform Settings". The problem I'm having is that my thread function ("TSK_Main", which is declared in the C++ application) cannot be called from libxil.a, which is a C library. This is the error message that I'm getting while trying to build the C++ application: ../../ppc405_0_sw_platform/ppc405_0/lib/libxil.a(init.o):(.sdata+0x0): undefined reference to `TSK_Main' Maybe someone knows a workaround for this? Many thanks, Guy.

This seems to be a linker problem. The naming conventions for c and c++ object files are different. You can declare C function in C++ with:

extern "C" { ... TSK_Main(...); }

or vice versa

extern "C++" { ... TSK_Main(...); }

Thanks, Markus. It is indeed a linker issue, which was solved using extern "C". Still, I'm wondering if there are any other issues when using xilkernel with C

++? Guy.
