I have a huge c++ library that i need to make use of. Due to the sheer size of the library its almost impossible to write a objective c wrapper for each and every function. Will making the objective c file with .mm extension solve the problem?

I have made the cocoa file with extension.mm and other files are in .cpp , i still get a linker error. Hence, i was wondering if this is sufficient or should i still make a wrapper!

Works, my mistake was naming even the c++ files with extension .mm. Thanks! – Varun Subramanian Aug 02 '16 at 17:28
