Any tag of gcc to compile Cpp file which includes C 3rd party header file
There is 3rd part he开发者_开发知识库ader file (header.h) define a structure a below, it can be passed compiling when treat it as C language. But we trying to include this file in CPP file, and the compiling is failed since g++ compiling more restriction or other reason?
shell@hercules$ g++ main.cpp
In file included from main.cpp:1:
header.h:10: error: conflicting declaration ‘typedef struct conn_t conn_t’
header.h:9: error: ‘struct conn_t’ has a previous declaration as ‘struct conn_t’
main.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
main.cpp:8: error: aggregate ‘conn_t list’ has incomplete type and cannot be defined
Header file header.h:
1 #ifndef __HEADER_H__
2 #define __HEADER_H__
3 #ifdef __cplusplus
4 extern "C" {
5 #endif
6 typedef struct
7 {
8 int data;
9 struct conn_t *next;
10 }conn_t;
11
12 #ifdef __cplusplus
13 }
14 #endif
15
16 #endif // __HEADER_H__
Cpp file main.cpp
#include "header.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
conn_t list;
list.data = 1;
list.next = NULL;
cout<<"hello:"<<list.data<<endl;
return 0;
}
Question: Is there any tag of gcc/g++ to compile it?
typedef struct
{
int data;
struct conn_t *next;
}conn_t;
I don't know if in some compilers what you're doing here is valid, but it seems wrong to me. If you use a typedef you shouldn't prefix the typename with struct
. Also the name conn_t
in this case will be defined as soon as the struct is declared but isn't valid inside the declaration. This way the code'll work:
struct conn_t
{
int data;
struct conn_t *next;
};
No typedefs, I'm just using the struct name.
It should be written like this in order to have a typedef and to have a reference to the structure itself:
typedef struct tag_conn_t
{
int data;
struct tag_conn_t *next;
}conn_t;
Good luck,

- First, the header file is 3rd party C header file, it can be compiled in C language;
- Second, the header file can not be updated, just for specific purpose, I have to includes this header file in my C++ file, and then during compile the C++, the header file also will be treat as C++, that's what problem I encountered.
I still need you genius give me the answer for that, really appreciate your guys response here.
I believe the -x language
tag, with c-header
for language on gcc/g++ is what you are looking for.
