#34 Error compiling c++ source with bcc32 (Borland C++)

[Valentin Lavrinenko]

When compiling a simple test program test.c, everything is OK. But compiling test.cpp (file contents remains the same) gives the following:
Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland
test.cpp:

Seems that it happens because stdlib.h is included inside extern "C" { } in case of comipling c++ code. I've tried to move the #include outside extern "C" { } and everything works fine.

Sorry. The latter sentence (about #include <stdlib.h>) is concerning surses.h, or course.

Sorry again :) curses.h, of course.

curses.h has been checked into CVS with these changes.
