You can take a look at any of the samples comig with Brook+ SDK under samples\CPP folder. All these samples call kernel defined in .bf from cpp file.

Thanks for point me in the right direction.

About the examples, I need to call a kernel from a pure C source (not cpp). How can this be acomplished? Should I use a c++ wrapper that calls the kernel and can be called from the c source? Is there another way?

regards,

Alfonso

The code generated by brcc is C++ code. Brook+ streams are also C++ classes. So, you must create a C++ wrapper that does all the stream creation and call kernel.
