I am getting an error that is

C++

Socket.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl calc_check(int)" (?calc_check@@YAHH@Z) referenced in function _main

This is mine socket.cpp

C++

int main()

int hh=2;

    //int chkvalue=calculatechecksum();
    int chkvalue=calc_check(hh);
}

This is mine checksum.c

  // Fold 32-bit sum to 16 bits
  while (sum>>16)
    sum = (sum & 0xFFFF) + (sum >> 16);

  return(~sum);
}

This is mine header file(constant.h) which is included in socket.cpp

C++

int calc_check(int);

Looks like name mangling to me.

constant.h:

C++

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

int calc_check(int);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

The problem is that you have to declare your function as extern "C" when you declaring it for .cpp files because .c files generate object files where the name of functions isn't mangled (like ?calc_check@@YAHH@Z). If you don't tell extern "C" for .cpp files in the function declaration then the C++ sources will look for mangled names and wont find the unmangled .c symbols. With the above code your header file remains valid when included from both .c and .cpp files and tells your C++ code to look for unmangled stuff.

Solution 2

In C file most probably is compiled in C mode with C function name encoding convention. But your main function is in a CPP file. So, you have to declare with extern "C" in the header, or change the name checksum.c to checksum.cpp
