Is it possible to create C++ SharedLibraries under Linux?? I''ve tried it and creation worked but when I wanted to load a function via "dlsym" it failed with the error: "Symbol not found". When I use C as the programming language everything works fine. What am I doing wrong?

The problem you get is that C++ is prone to name-mangling. In other words, it doesn''t export a function foo, but rather a function "foo@VQAAH" or something like that. C++ does that in order to be type-safe - those additional characters somehow represent the argument and return value types.

To prevent that, simply prefix your function declarations with extern "C", or put all your function headers in something like this:

  #if defined(__cplusplus)extern "C" {#endif// Your function decls go here...#if defined(__cplusplus)};#endif

One line of sourcecode says more than a thousand words.
