Objective-C++ in Visual Studio 2017

Clang Frontend

Hello everyone,

I have read that Clang is able to compile Objective-C code as well. So I tried out a simple Hello-Word-Program which I found in the internet.

and I try to compile it, then Clang will read the file as a C+±file and will complain about the import statement

being not supported.

What filename extension are you using for your Objective-C file? The usual one for that language is “.m”. If you’re using something different, try that.

Objective-C++ uses ".mm".
