make spamc (more libspamc.c and utils.c ) able to compile with c++

Hello SpamAssassin-Devs,

currently our spamc client compiles fine using c. But others (and of course me) would need to build the spamc client (especially the library files libspamc.c and utils.c) with a c++ compiler. Currently, this happend to me as I've tried to integrate the spamc libraries into my Lotus Domino application. This integration needs to build/link all source files with c++. With pure c the integration won't work.

So, my question would be. If I'll supply a patch to make the spamc libraries compile fine with c++, will there be any chance to be applied to trunk?

If already done the adjustment. So the code would look like the following:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif

...more code (casting of malloc/memchr, typename won't work)

#ifdef __cplusplus
}

#endif

 

 

Regards

 

NicoP.

hi Nico -- as long as it's appropriately #ifdef'd, I don't think
there'd be a problem applying that.
