linking C++ libs from C

[3d3rosa]

Is it possible to link in a C program a C++ shared library? I managed to do it but only if my shared library doesn't contain C++ "stuff" like "cout" or "cin". When I build a program linking my C++ lib the C linke can't find "magled" C++ names of "cout" and "cin" objects.
Is it possible to build a C API to use a dynamic C++ library? If it is , how can I do it?

thanks
