Dear Iris,

I am not an expert of C++ programming, but I think that, in order to be consistent with Fortran declaration of these functions, you should just declare the functions in the .h header file as :

extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) void _cdecl TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_SETNUMERICALDERIVATIVE(int, double);
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) double _cdecl TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_GETNUMERICALSOLUTION(int);

and after

#define SetNumericalDerivative TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_SETNUMERICALDERIVATIVE
#define GetNumericalSolution TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_GETNUMERICALSOLUTION


Hope this helps!

Dear David,

Thank you for your response, I tried to do this. However, I have no idea what I am doing here.
As a first try I just added the lines
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) double _cdecl TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_SETNUMERICALDERIVATIVE(void);
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) double _cdecl TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_GETNUMERICALSOLUTION(void);
and
#define SetNumericalDerivative TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_SETNUMERICALDERIVATIVE
#define GetNumericalSolution TRNSYSFUNCTIONS_mp_GETNUMERICALSOLUTION
to the TRNSYS.h file. However, this did not work. I also noticed that there is a getNumericalSolver in the .h file, I'd think that implies that there should be a numerical solver accessible for C++?
Also, I have the same problem for the function Tau_Alpha, I also can't use it.
Could someone give me any more hints on how to either change the .h file or use another way of finding the numerical solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Iris
