C++ compilation issue with command_rec

[Abdul Mujeer Kapadia <mu...@uffaq.com>]

Hi,

I am developing an Apache module in C++ and have come across this issue 
that I am unable to resolve even after hours of effort. I will 
appreciate any idea/suggestion to resolve this.

When compiling with g++, the compiler gives the following error at the 
directives declaration (command_rec)

"invalid conversion from `const char*(*)(cmd_parms*, void*, const char*)
' to `const char*(*)()'"

I have tried many workarounds including shifting directive declaration 
outside class structure, but it appears g++ doesn't like the underlying 
code. I have also tried following the macros in http_config.h, but have 
been unable to come up with a workable solution to resolve this problem.

Open to any suggestion/idea.

Thanks
A. Mujeer

Yeah, C++ doesn't like that kind of cast.  Which is very annoying, but oh
well.  Not as annoying as some of the other things C++ won't let you do.
:-)

Anyway, why can't you just add an #ifdef __cplusplus block to the header
file and change the command_rec to have the correct kind of prototype for
the function pointer in question?
