Hello,
I dont know if i understand the question.
Ethereal defines a C function interface for the plugins.
So, the question would rather be what changes do you have to make to C++
code in order to use it as a C plugin?
But that is not a problem: There should be no difficulties in using C++ for
the implementation of those interface functions as long as the calling
interface remains C style.
Basically it comes down to defining the required functions
extern "C" in your C++ code,
and/or eventually force a certain calling- and linkage convention in your
C++ compiler/linker.
Did that answer your question?
br,
Lars Ruoff
