You could have noticed a common pattern among all the officially supported mbed libraries:

• mbed SDK
• mbed IP networking
• mbed RTOS

Their bulk is written in C and then a C++ "sugar coating" is providing a nice and friendly object oriented API.

Having to deal with a large bulk of C code the offline mbed build system has always compiled C source files as C syntax, and C++ source files as C++ syntax.

On the other hand, considering that the majority of the C syntax is a subset of the C++ syntax, as a simplification for the mbed community the online build system was compiling both C and C++ files as C++ syntax.

One of the goals the mbed team is aiming to is the open sourcing of all the officially supported mbed libraries.

For this reason, we are aiming at unifying the offline and online build system. As a first step, starting from the release 40 of the mbed library we have started compiling C files as C syntax and C++ files as C++ syntax.

These are some of the immediate outcomes of these changes:

• We can now provide the source code of the mbed RTOS library
• We can now provide the source code of the mbed IP networking library
• The ".c" files are compiled as C syntax, not C++ syntax

If this change is breaking your existing code, you have a quick and simple fix: rename your ".c" file to ".cpp".

By renaming all my .c files to .cpp that seems to work now. Thanks Emilio. Regards Tim

This is great news for mixing c with cpp without having to re-write c to comply with cpp standards. Awesome!
