[Winpcap-users] Re: thread error

[Ravi Sankar]

Hi Joe,
   
  You are trying to use C function in C++. Declare it as extern "C" in your header file
   
  Sample code
   
  #ifdef __cplusplus
  extern "C" {
  #endif
     
     DWORD WINAPI do_pktcapt_loop(LPVOID lp);
   
  #ifdef __cplusplus
  }
  #endif
  
Best Wishes
  Ravi

  The application : dialog based MFC
   
  The decalaration:
  DWORD WINAPI do_pktcapt_loop(LPVOID lp){ //is the thread method}
   
  The Problem:
   
  handleThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0 , do_pktcapt_loop, &arg, 0, &dw);
  i'm getting an error :
  error C2664: 'CreateThread' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'unsigned long (void *)' to 'unsigned long (__stdcall *)(void *)'

  What's the problem with my declaration ???
