title: Calling a shared library from c++
body: <p>i have a shared library with some functions stored inside it. i want to Access those functions by calling that library from another program. I have done this earlier in C.</p>
  
  <p>Now i want to do the same using C++. I am pretty new to C++ and any suggestions are very much required. BTW, the shared library is written in C. Is it still possible for me to call this in a C++ program and use all the functions of it.
  Please help me. An example program would be very very helpful.</p>
  
  <p>i am using ubuntu 14.04 and the compiler is the native g++ that comes along with it.</p>
