extern "C" won't compile

extern "C" won't compile

[ygillard]

Hello
I am using extern "C" in my code and when I try to compile using
egcs 2.91.66 under solaris 7, I get the following error:

In function `void * CThreadFunction(void *)':
BufferOverflowManagerSingleton.hxx:79: previous declaration of `void *
CThreadFunction(void *)' with C++ linkage
BufferOverflowManagerSingleton.cxx:28: conflicts with new declaration
with C linkage
BufferOverflowManagerSingleton.hxx: In function `void
CThreadCleanup(void *)':
BufferOverflowManagerSingleton.hxx:82: previous declaration of `void
CThreadCleanup(void *)' with C++ linkage
BufferOverflowManagerSingleton.cxx:38: conflicts with new declaration
with C linkage

I try to put friend extern "C" void * CThreadFunction(void * theArg) in
my header file, but the cxx files including this header file do not
compile. I get:
empty component declaration
parse error before string constant


Here is my source code, I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong
Thanks For your help.

in my header file I have:

class BufferOverflowManagerSingleton
{

public:
...

private :

  //this is a global C function used for launching threads
   friend void * CThreadFunction(void * theArg);

  //this is a global C function used for cleaning the thread
   friend void CThreadCleanup(void * theArg);


};



in my cxx file I have:
...

extern "C" void * CThreadFunction(void * theArg)
{
..
}

extern "C" void CThreadCleanup(void * theArg)
{
...
}

...



Thanks a lot
Yves
