<p><a name="index-C_002b_002b_002c-compatibility-40"></a>The library header files automatically define functions to have
53
<code>extern "C"</code> linkage when included in C++ programs. This allows
54
the functions to be called directly from C++.
56
<p>To use C++ exception handling within user-defined functions passed to
57
the library as parameters, the library must be built with the
58
additional <code>CFLAGS</code> compilation option <samp><span class="option">-fexceptions</span></samp>.
