That answers the StrVPrintF question (I did try passing the pointer which
failed also, but assigning to a VoidPtr first worked) But what about the
other error messages that work with the C++ compiler turned off? I tried
just about all the compiler options without success. Is the C++ compiler
just that much more strict?
