using C++ code in a C Pogram that can be compiled by gcc

[Ziad Al-Sharif <zsharif@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all

I have a useful C++ library, I can compile it using g++.

I am looking to make an API functions in C for the C++ library, So, I 
can use it through a C program

I am asking if there is a way that I can compile it using the gcc. or if 
I can use this C++ library in a C program.

thank you so much
Ziad
