Hi,
I have found a problem with the OpenSSL headers and C++ compilers. I'm
reporting it here because there doesn't seem to be a better bug reporting
address.
The contents of the OpenSSL headers are enclosed in extern "C" blocks when
the compiler is a C++ compiler to give the definitions C linkage. This is
fine.
The problem is when the OpenSSL headers include system header files within
the extern "C" block. Some system headers can include definitions which
require C++ linkage, such as templates. When this happens, the compilation
fails.
The solution is simple enough: Close the extern "C" block before including
a header file from an OpenSSL header file, and reopen the extern "C" block
afterwards.
