Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think that is my problem. My GetMetadataForFile function is in a .c file, compiled as c and not c++. It calls a C++ function but that function is declared in a header file with the extern "C" wrappers around the declaration, and implemented in a .cp file. So I'm still looking for an answer.

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

Boolean GetMetadataForFile(void* thisInterface,
CFMutableDictionaryRef attributes,
CFStringRef contentTypeUTI,
CFStringRef pathToFile)
{
/* Pull any available metadata from the file at the specified path
*/
/* Return the attribute keys and attribute values in the dict */
/* Return TRUE if successful, FALSE if there was no data provided */

// Convert the path to an FSRef
char strTemp[2048];
FSRef fsr;
CFStringGetCString(pathToFile, strTemp, 2048,
kCFStringEncodingASCII);
if (noErr != FSPathMakeRef((unsigned char *)strTemp,
&fsr, NULL))
return FALSE;

// Now that we have our FSRef, parse the RIFF file
return (RIFF_Metadata(&fsr, attributes));
}

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
