I hope the extern "C" should work, although I think MSVC might add an extra "_". However, since you can produce C plugins that PowerPro can work with, I am hopeful. I think Alan does C++ stuff, so possibly he has some advice if he is lurking. > I probably know even less C++ than you do so translating any MS > idiosyncrasies you might write into code that gcc understands might be a > problem however. If you agree to try, I'll write the plugin and get it to work but using a dummy RE class with dummy versions of the pcrecpp methods that I will use just to debug. Then if I sent it to you, you should be able to remove the dummy class, compile and link against the actual dll, and it will work straight away ! <g>. >
