binreloc with c++

Hi....

I try to use binreloc...
http://autopackage.org/docs/binreloc/

When I tried to compile a simple c++ program with this library, I got error:
prefix.c:59: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `char*(*)(void*, void*)'

However compiling a c program with this library is okay.....

any solution??? Thank you......

Never use binReloc before. A general suggestion only.

You can try

extern "C"
{

#include "prefix.h"
}

(Suggested modification in bold)

Same error.

Really strange. Because in the prefix.c there is already a extern "C" to protect the code from these kind of error.

Anyway, now you can try this modification in perfix.c at line 59

#if __cplusplus
static br_locate_fallback_func fallback_func = (br_locate_fallback_func) NULL;
#else
static br_locate_fallback_func fallback_func = NULL; // the original line
#endif

It can get rid of the compiler error. (AND it ONLY gets rid of the compiler error. Do not know if it could have any impact on the correctness)
