Use the nrf SDK in C++

[Christopher]

Hello,

I program the nrf51 in C++ using GCC and Eclipse as IDE (this question is not related to the C++ toolchain).

I was wondering if it is possible to add the extern wrapper #ifdef __cplusplus in all header files of the SDK (drivers and libs) for the nrf51 and nrf52 ?

This has been already asked in these two questions back in 2014, but we did not have any feedback / acknowledge from Nordic:

• devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../
• devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

Thanks in advance for our answer.

This wrapper is standard practice since the dawn of the C++. It has became a coding standard for C programming as well. I really don't understand why Nordic still refuses to do it. It takes about 1 hour to wrap all the header files.

A ticket is created for this one , but i am not sure if it gets any priority soon :( but cannot be ignored for long.

From SDK11, the header files of SoftDevices s130 and s130 now include the #ifdef __cplusplus wrapper. Unfortunately, the header files of the SDK (HAL, drivers, libraries) have not been updated yet.

Thank you Nordic and @aryan. This is a first step, but a good news.

@Aryan the SoftDevice team fixed this issue, waiting on the SDK team ;)
