Porting C Code to C++ Code

Although many embedded developers continue to be very happy programming in pure C code, there are many reasons to consider C++ additions to the code base or the testing framework. Before any C++ feature may be used, the code must first be made to compile as valid C++ code. Unfortunately, most C code will not compile as C++ code; numerous changes are usually required to achieve a code base that can be compiled either as C code or C++ code. This presentation discusses the primary causes that will prevent C code from being compiled as C++ code.
