Compiler error is as follows: /usr/include/libaio.h: In function `void io_set_callback(iocb*, void (*)(io_context*, iocb*, long int, long int))': /usr/include/libaio.h:142: invalid conversion from `void (*)(io_context*, iocb*, long int, long int)' to `void*' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.3.96-6
Created attachment 128310 [details] Fix libaio.h so it will compile with c++ compilers I tested the attached patch by installing the modified rpm, and performing a build of a simple program which utilizes aio. I then downgraded the library version to taht shipped with RHEL 3 GA (0.3.96-3), and ran the program. I verified that the program worked as expected. I believe Sybase is interested in this particular case, since they will be building their applications against this version of the library, but deploying on potentially older versions of RHEL.
