*& in header

[sem]

Hallo,

I've got a DLL and header file, that contains
extern "C" {
//some other delarations
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall myfunc (unsigned char*& p1);
typedef int (__stdcall* PROCESS)(unsigned char*);
}

It's apparently for C++, but I need to use it in C program

I replaced this declaration by
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall process (unsigned char** p);

and call it as

unsigned char* m = NULL;
int result = process(&m);

Does anybody have an idea why this doesn't work? Isn't it the same? How can I use *& in pure C? Should I have some knowledge about the internals of the procedure being called to call it successfully?
Please, help as I'm really stuck in it
Regards, Dima

What has your question to do with ANSI SQL? I recommend posting in a C forum rather than this forum. If you want to get the best answer for your question read faq183-874 and thread183-468158.

I'm sorry, I followed wrong link (SQL instead of C). Regards, Dima
