Me too. That is, I don't see the point in alteribg the original C header in order to support C++ compilers. After all, the original header is a C header file. However, I see lots of points in providing a C++ header for C++ users. Here is a basic skeleton that might work. The implicit conversions still need some workarounds. -------------cut here------------------------- // cthreads.hpp #ifndef CTHREADS_HPP #define CTHREADS_HPP #ifndef __cplusplus #error only c++ compilers are supported here. #endif #define catch take extern "C" { #include "cthreads.h" } #undef catch #endif // CTHREADS_HPP -------------------cut here------------------ The above is not a piece of tested code. It is a sample of concept. I know that cthreads is evil and should not be used since pthreads is much more portable, cleaner, more beautiful ang righteous. The concept is still something that might be worth a thought. Don't tweak C headers, create C++ wrapper headers instead. Kusti - just my 2 cents -- Kimmo K. I.
