If you're responding to what he wrote at that time, why don't you post
it as a response to the message in which he actually wrote it, on the
thread in which he wrote it? It's a little confusing to post it as a
response to a message I wrote, in a thread where he's said some
incorrect things about C/C++ linking, but he hasn't actually said
these particular incorrect things (at least, not yet):

describes the access to the C code required. In general C++ can
access C code, but C cannot access C++ code.

James, either I'm confused or you are.

Here's the entire content of what Flash posted, excluding headers and
signature:

Flash's article was a direct followup to CBFalconer's article, and
CBFalconer did write exactly the quoted incorrect words:

describes the access to the C code required. In general C++ can
access C code, but C cannot access C++ code.

Remember, the languages are different.

Did the "06/11/08" date format throw you off? It's DD/MM/YY, not
MM/DD/YY -- i.e., it's today, not 5 months ago. (MM/DD/YY is more
common in the US, DD/MM/YY in the UK; that's why I use YYYY-MM-DD
whenever possible.)
