>Description:
None of the header files for the packet capture library
are suitable to include in a C++ file. They are missing the
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
to give the declared functions C linkage
>How-To-Repeat:
Trying to compile this-
#include <iostream.h>
#include <pcap.h>
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pcap_t *cap = NULL;
char errorBuf[4096];
cap = pcap_open_offline(argv[1], errorBuf);
if (cap == NULL)
{
cout << "Error- " << errorBuf << endl;
exit(1);
}
}
as a C++ program will give this error-
c++ tcpdump.cxx
/var/tmp/ccR273601.o: Undefined symbol `_pcap_open_offline__FPcT0' referenced from text segment
>Fix:
Add the
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
incantation to the begining of each of the pcap*.h files.
