This article describes how to write code that is available in both C and C++. The C++ website has a great FAQ section on how to mix C and C++; this article shows a concrete example for implementation.

In my day-to-day work, I don’t get to work too much with user-facing code. Such is the world of embedded programming. So I decided to start a new project to explore a different aspect of software. I also want to seriously consider the architecture of this project, so not all of the posts will be directly related to the implementation of the project. Lastly, I want to have fun making this project, because otherwise there’s no point.

In the previous introduction to Cambre, I mentioned that I would be using GLFW, GLEW, and GLM for handling different aspects of the program. These libraries are great, but I would also like to use a recent C++ version to organize the code I write. Because the three aforementioned libraries are all C style libraries, that means that I have to do a little bit of extra wrangling in order to make them fit my application’s organization.
