02/27/2022, 6:00 PMHello everyone, how should I interoperate with C++ in the native target of the kotlin-multiplatform? I need to call a library whose header file is C++, the library is a bit huge, so it is unrealistic to manually change it to a C header. In addition, I am a newbie to C/C++, so this question may be a bit stupid.
