Re: gnome-defs

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 These macros translate to 

BEGIN_GNOME_DCLS:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif


and END_GNOME_DCLS:

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif



  C++ compilers do function naming mangling (i.e. they change the name of the
fuction, so that overloading can be accomplished.)

These directives tells the compiler to leave the fucntion names the way you
named them.

 GLIB also has something similar for the same puropose:

 G_BEGIN_DECLS
 G_END_DECLS


 You can either use them or replace with the actual code. 

Hope this helps.

Harring.
