[Premake-users] C/C++ mixed language projects

[Jason P. <st...@gm...>]

There is an interesting conversation taking place over the SF.net
forums about C and C++ mixed language projects and how Premake should
treat them. The argument is between using the C++ compiler for every
file in the project, or for Premake to try to guess the correct
compiler based on the file extension. Have a look at the forum thread,
and then feel to carry on the conversation here or there (I'll make
sure the important points are communicated in both places).

Right now, Premake's GNU makefile generator looks at the file
extensions and switches between gcc and g++ as appropriate. The
Code::Blocks generator compiles everything as C++. This should be
standardized going forward.
