I've been writing a shared object on AIX using xlC. I
am wondering if a application compiled with gnu will
be able to link to this object correctly?

Thanks,
Mark

You should be able to link to gcc compiled C programs. g++ compiled C++
programs will not work, in general.

C compilers are link-compatible.
C++ compilers are not.

If the shared object exports 'C'-callable API,
there should be no problems.

How do you do this? I tried using extern "C" in front of my function
declarations but when i did a dump of the object file the name
appeared to still be mangled.
