C++ grants a licence to merge C with C++. C does not. In other
words, C++ knows about C, but C does not know about C++.

You should ask your question in a C++ forum.

After you check the archives of both groups, this question has been
asked more times than I care to remember.

There is a faq on the C++ inventor's homepage talking about C and C++
call each other. Is the C mentioned on that webpage K&R C and/or ANSI
C, or is it just another kind of C in C++?

By passing pointers and treating these pointers as opaque on the
C side. To do anything, you will have to write more extern "C"
helper functions in C++.

In general you can't manipulate C++ objects directly from C.
