Trouble with 2.0a4 Include Files

["Tyler J. Brooks" <ty...@home.com>]

1)  It looks like 'ap_config.h' is missing a closing brace for its
extern "C" declaration.  Could somebody add it please?  It is
'spilling over' into some of my C++ headers and causing havoc.

2)  Also, I am getting compiler errors when I try to include
apr_file_io.h, apr_thread_proc.h, and apr_network_io.h in some
of my C++ code.  Even though these files have the proper
extern "C" declaration, my compiler is tripping over the 'new'
keyword which is used as an argument name in some of the function
prototypes.  I thought the extern "C" declaration would have turned
this off... but it is still triggering an error.  For now, I have renamed
the
arguments to something else in my local copies of the files.  Could
somebody tell me what the proper way is to get around this?
I am using MSVC 6.0 on NT 4.0 SP5.

Thanx in advance.
Tyler.

OK.  I just removed the code you requested from my local copy.  Worked
just fine.  I think this is the right solution based on your observation
that
it really is not needed.

OK.  I will just keep my changes to my local files so I can continue to
work with 2.0a4.  I assume 2.0a5 will have a fix.

Can you verify for me that simply removing '#ifdef __cplusplus extern
"C" #endif' does the trick?  I don't think it should be needed at all in
that header file.  I don't see that there are any function
prototypes.

'extern "C"' doesn't mean that everything inside is in the C
language.  It just tells the compiler what the linkage is.

I just coded some fixes to these headers and will commit them once I
verify I didn't screw anything up.

Thank you for taking the trouble to report it.
