How to generate main.cpp with STM32CubeIDE

[RDe R.1]

Hi,

I'm working on a project in c++ and every time the IDE generates main.c instead of updating my main.cpp file. The project is set to C++, but still it generates main.c. That's very annoying. Can i fix this?

Not possible.

But main.c is not preventing you to add c++ contributions to your project ... you've just to consider to properly organize it.

Adding c++ material properly is not enough. Please takes care to convert your C project to C++ one in oder to get access to C++ toolchain. Rely on project context menu ... some Convert C to C++ feature is available.
