Well, this depends on the compiled library. It'll only work if the library supports C linkage conventions. If this is not the case (probably), you have to write your own wrapper, in C++, which exports 'extern "C"' functions to be called from within your C dissector.

Now, I wish to extend this dissector, and for that I will need to use an already compiled C++ Library. I do not have much experience with C++, so any help would be appreciated. My dissector is in C, and if I can call the methods in the C++ library, that would be great. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this. I am compiling it on win32 using nmake (compiler: cl). Thanks, Chirag Lathia.
