COMPILER NEUTRAL LINKING SOLUTION FOR C++ CODE

摘要

The present invention provides a solution where interactions between different C++ modules can be reduced to interactions written in the C programming language. This permits code linking the difference C++ software modules to be written in the C programming language. Because naming conventions for linking symbols are standardized for the C programming language across all compilers, the C++ software modules can be linked to each other in a compiler neutral fashion. This is true even when the linked software modules are complied using different C++ compilers having non-standardized naming conventions for linking symbols. In absence of the disclosed solution, the different C++ compilers would generate code that cannot be linked.
