2.5.9 Linking embedded applications using swipl-ld

The utility program swipl-ld (Win32: swipl-ld.exe) works with both C and C++ programs. See Linking embedded applications using swipl-ld for more details.

Your C++ compiler should support at least C++-17.

To avoid incompatibilities amongst the various C++ compilers’ABIs, the object file from compiling SWI-cpp2.cpp is not included in the shared object libswipl; instead, it must be compiled along with any foreign predicate files. If the macro _SWI_CPP2_CPP_SEPARATE is defined before the include for SWI-cpp2.h, then SWI-cpp2.cpp is not automatically included and must be compiled separately - either by creating a .a file or by adding a #include <SWI-cpp2.cpp> to one of your source files.
