How can i write GNURadio applications in C?

Question

I have a project wherein i need to write an application for an USRP device. But the gnuradio software which i use to interact with the device driver and ultimately the hardware provides apis in c++ and python. I am comfortable programming in c and thus would like a way which would let me to call the apis from my c program.Is there a way in which i could do so? It would be a lifesaver.

Answer 1

C++ adds a lot to C, but doesn't take much away. Except for a few corner cases (which can be worked around) most valid C code is also valid C++ code, so you won't encounter many problems when you compile it as C++. Just write your whole project in a C style and only use C++ features where they are necessary to interface with the C++ API of gnuradio.
