This is probably simple, but I haven't encountered this problem before

its not clear to me why I'm getting this problem...

I want to create a function that accepts as an argument a sockbuf*.

The

function is implemented in a C++ file, but is declared in a header

available

to call from a C file.

And a C++ source file that looks something like this:

extern "C" {

#ifndef KERNEL

#define KERNEL

#include <sys/socketvar.h>

#undef KERNEL

#else

#include <sys/socketvar.h>

#endif

When I attempt to build, I get error messages like this:

...

foo.h:10: forward declaration of `struct sockbuf'

...

foo.cp:20: invalid use of undefined type `struct sockbuf'

...

The puzzle is if I modify the above "example" to reference a socket

and not

a sockbuf, I get no compilation errors.

How do declare these properly so I can just use a sockbuf?

Thanks in advance,

Eric Long

sockbuf is a kernel only structure, as should be evidenced by the KERNEL define wrapper. You can't expect to define KERNEL and have things work. Secondly, sockbuf is declared in the scope of the socket structure. IOW, if you aren't writing a kernel extension, don't even attempt to use the sockbuf (or socket) structure.
