How do you link a C++ program to C functions?

Answer Posted / nikhil upadhyay

By using the extern "C" linkage specification around the C function declarations.
Programmers should know about mangled function names and type-safe linkages. Then they should explain how the extern "C" linkage specification statement turns that feature off during compilation so that the linker properly links function calls to C functions. Another acceptable answer is "I don't know. We never had to do that." Merely describing what a linker does indicates that the programmer does not understand the issue that underlies the question.
