Hi,

If you are using GCC there is already a solution waiting for you. Please check this topic:

In general, there is no reason to not use C++ with nRF but C++ and C doensn't mix always very well. I would try to seperate such an application into a C part and into a C++ part. With your CLI example, try to split the application into a set of extern "C" C++ functions and a C part, that ueses the CLI library which then calls the C++ functions.

Hi,

The nRF5 SDK does not support C++, and as you have seen there are quite a few modules that are not easily converted to valid C++ code. This means that you would want to keep the SDK code as C even if you write the rest of your application as C++. You also have to write some glue code and rewrite parts of the CLI code to handle the incompatibilities. Unfortunately, we have not done this task, and do not have a guide.
