I'm not sure exactly what you're saying, but it sounds like you're 
trying to have C++ functions call C functions.  This doesn't happen 
naturally, since C++ is in actuality a different language than C.

What you have to do is use the extern "C" notation (this is draft 
standard, so it's okay) to accomplish your goal.

In name1.cc, use

extern "C" {
#include "name2.h"
}

or the functional equivalent of whatever you're doing to link C++ with 
C code.

If this isn't what you meant, let me know.
