Argument of type void

[domJack]

Hi folks...

Can anyone make sense of this error message?!

argument of type ‘void (packet_analysis::)(u_char*, const pcap_pkthdr*, const u_char*)’
does not match ‘void (*)(u_char*, const pcap_pkthdr*, const u_char*)’

I originally had this function in main, but after a re-jig i put it in the constructor of the class 'packet_analysis'.

How can i make it match!!

Thanks,
Dom

It looks like you're passing a function pointer, whose types aren't a perfect match. Let's see the code you've written.

More exactly, you are trying to pass a pointer to member function, where pointer to global function is expected. This does not work. For more info, read following: http://parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/po....html#faq-33.2
