member provide utility routines as library. This utilities are written
by C++ (xlC) and main program will be developped with C (xlc).

when C routine calls C++ routine?
ANSWER
The differences between ANSI C and C++ fall into two categories:
1. Constructs found in C++ but not in ANSI C
2. Constructs found in both C++ and ANSI C, but treated
differently in the two languages
