I would also like to hear success or horror stories about using the Pro*C compilers with C++. Currently, I'm using wrappers in my C++ headers that declare the functions as "extern C" and they work fine, but I would be interested in a more "correct" C++ solution.

To answer the question above: I think you have to use the pre-compiler option CODE=ANSI_C to generate the proper function prototypes. It defaults to CODE=KR_C. I haven't tried this yet, so you might run into more problems later.
