Hello,

I am having difficulties in writing a c++ prog that uses C code to send an icmp
packet (icmpapi.h, ipexport.h (used by icmpapi.h)).  This is what my code looks
like so far:



-------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

extern "C" {
#include <icmpapi.h>
}

int main(){
using namespace std;
HANDLE icmp;
icmp = IcmpCreateFile();

cout << "hello";
return 0;
}
________________________________________________


It compiles but then i get an error that says:

_______________________________________________
hello.obj(hello)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _IcmpCreateFile 0

--- errorlevel 1
_______________________________________________




Before i added the:
extern "C" 

I would get the error:

_____________________________________________________________________
hello.obj(hello)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined ?IcmpCreateFile  YGPAXXZ (void *stdcall
IcmpCreateFile (void ))

--- errorlevel 1
_____________________________________________________________________


Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Is there a way to send a custom icmp
packet using C++ libraries?  This might help some.  The code for sending the
exact packet I need to send is already written in C for me, so ideally I would
like to write a C++ prog that does some extra work but also sends the icmp
packet (exactly as written in the already existing C code that I have).


Thank you,

David S

No, icmpapi.h is likely just a list of declarations. In the library would be
the code to implement it. It'll have a .lib extension. Look in the comments
in your header file, maybe it says where the corresponding library file is.
icmpapi.h is not one of the files that comes with DMC++, nor is its
corresponding library file.
