Keil C99 & C++ mix

@Marc Crandall

Hello,

I have a base project that uses C99. (compiler option --c99)

Basically c99 was used so that an aggregate type could be initialized with non-constant data as such:

#define WRITE_OP_CODE (34)

void test_fn(unsigned char param1, unsigned char param2)
{
    unsigned char writebuff[3] = {WRITE_OP_CODE, param1, param2};
    // no error on one compiler
    // and a "expression must have a constant value" error on another

    ...
}

The problem is I am now mixing in some c++ (third part library) and I get all sort of errors for the C linkage (extern "c")

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to mix C99 and C++ with various extern c linkage statements?
