problems with extern.

[Levi Campbell]

Okay, I'm working on a library with another person and I need to call
on code from my partner's half of the library. I have been calling
extern as "extern "language" type funcname (args)", but when I compile,
I get the following error messages with g++ 3.4.4.

error: expected primary-expression before "extern"
error: expected ';' before "extern"
error: expected ')' before "extern"

I've googled using both the error messages and "calling external
functions in C and C++" as keywords and got nil and there was nothing
in the g++ manuel, what am I doing wrong?

Show some code.

You're not following the recommendations put forth by FAQ 5.8, that's
what you're doing wrong.

Yeah, dude - listen to my friend and school mate Victor and quickly
follow the recommendations. And don't comeback until you memorize it.

Vitya, when are we meeting for bulochki?

as always, hi to babushka. I spoke with her last night and she says
that you're haven't called her in weeks. Get your life together and
stop wasting it with different women......

Ah, I didn't know about that. My problem has been fixed and I've got
the mentioned FAQ bookmarked. Thank you.
