Compilation Error - C2894: templates cannot be declared to have 'C' linkage

["Varuna De Silva" <varunax () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I tried to compile a program which includes pcap-int.h, in Visual Studio
2005.

and then I get this above error message. As was proposed in a program. This
happens because

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "*C*" {
#endif
...
#include <pcap.h>
...
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

I tried moving the #include <pcap.h> outside of the extern "*C*"

and the compilation was successful.

Would this be alright

Rgrds
