Thus the diff -u I sent in.. which resolves the above compiler failure with g++.

Committed, thanks! Btw, how and why did you manage to get g++ compiling plain C code?

umm.. how? cd ext/pspell /usr/local/php5/bin/phpize env CC=g++ CFLAGS=-fuse-cxa-atexit ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php5/bin/php-config make C++ is a superset of C thus any C code can be complied as C++ as long as it doesn't use any C++ reserved words.

That is not true at all, although it's a common misconception. Just try the following in C and in C++: printf("sizeof('x') == %d\n", (int)sizeof('x')); (hint: they will give you different results). And there are many more differences.. Nuno

Yes.. there are some differences, but if your very careful with your typing.. C can be compiled with a C++ compiler. printf("sizeof('x') == %d\n", (int) sizeof((char)'x')); gives the same output of 1, with gcc and g++. I really don't want to be a troll. I still espouse that compiling a C program with a C++ compiler even if you never actually run it that way is a definite advantage to catch type checking problems. -Phil.
