>Description:
1- An .h file declaring a C++ function

/tmp/foo/foo.h

<<
void foo(int x);
>How-To-Repeat:
See description.

 2- A C++ source including the .h file and calling the function
 
 /tmp/foo.c
 
 <<
 #include "foo.h"
 
 int main(void)
 {
     foo(0);
 }
 >>
 
 3- First compilation using "-I" option
 
 CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=
 export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
 gcc -ggdb -c -I/tmp/foo -o foo.o -x c++ foo.c
 nm -C foo.o
 
 <<
 0000000000000000 a *ABS*
                  U foo(int)
 0000000000000000 ? __FRAME_BEGIN__
                  U __gxx_personality_v0
 0000000000000000 T main
 >>
 
 the "foo" function is referenced as a mangled c++ function reference
 
 4- Second compilation (not using the -I option)
 
 CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/tmp/foo
 export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
 gcc -ggdb -c -o foo.o -x c++ foo.c
 nm -C foo.o
 
 <<
 0000000000000000 a *ABS*
 0000000000000000 ? __FRAME_BEGIN__
                  U __gxx_personality_v0
                  U foo
 0000000000000000 T main
 >>
 
 The "foo" function is now referenced as a "C" (instead of C++) function.
 
 This is a dummy example ; in a real case, the "foo" function is defined in an external library ; the "link" stage cause an "undefined reference foo(int)".
