Uh.. because if compiled by a C compiler, it's still usable from C++, but not the other way around, AFAICT. Besides, I'd guess there are more C users of that library than C++. > There seems to be an assumption that system libraries are _not_ > compiled with C++. For most libraries, there's no such choice. Lua is an exception in that regard. And the default is compiling in C. Being able to compile in C++ is just an additional option or feature. > I suspect that's because there is no system library naming convention > that distinguishes between otherwise identical libraries, one compiled > with C++, one with C. Object symbols are also different.
