using c++ to write HAL module in linuxcnc

I'm new to linuxcnc, and I currently want to implement a chatter detection module as a linuxncnc HAL module.
the data acquisition module is written as a hal module already, and it uses C.
my plan is to write another CPP module since there is a more comprehensive library on digital sensor processing. And then using the data acquired from the above module via shared memory to calculate a bool variable that represents if the machine is in a chatter state or not.
Can someone tell me if there is anything wrong with my plan? Or any other advice is welcomed!

Depends if you're talking about realtime or userspace components. Realtime components have to be written in C. For userspace you should be able to use C++ with the C api.

Hi Roiki,

If you want to compile with c++ you need to install the linuxcnc dev files.
And you need the linuxcnc compile flags :

To compile your c++ code, this should be enough :
INCLUDEPATH += yourpath/linuxcnc/src/hal/utils
LIBS += -Iinclude -Isrc/emc/rs274ngc -Llib -lnml -llinuxcnc -llinuxcnchal -llinuxcncini -DULAPI -lposemath

Thanks for your advice! I'll keep that in mind!
