When you need to access function compiled from C++ source code, you
need to declare it as extern "C", in order to tell the compiler to
generate function name that is compatible with C. Otherwise, compiler
will generate different name (will mangle it), and C won't be able to
find it.
So, write
extern "C" blah()
{
...
}
in test.cpp
