UART ISR doesn't run even when Interrupt is generated

[ditishmaharjan]

I wanted to try Embedded C++, so for starters I wanted to use UART. The code I wrote generates the Interrupt but the code never jumps to the ISR that i wrote. I rewrote the code removing all class declarations and all except that i saved and compiled my code as main.cpp. The code still doesn't work, but when i re-compiled it as main.c the code works. I don't know what to do to make it work in c++. Does anyone as any idea what to do >>>>

I would suggest you look at your 'extern "C"'. given that it works when compiled with C, implies that your IRQ handler is being name-mangled. You can confirm by looking in the linker map.
