Hello,

in my dblib apps I'm using the following call:

dberrhandle( (EHANDLEFUNC)myErrHandler );

myErrHandler is a "extern C" function which works fine using the Sybase / M$ 
dblib. Unfortunately, this call fails using FreeTDS:

cannot convert `int (*)(DBPROCESS*, int, int, int, char*, char*)' to 
`int(*)()' for argument `1' to `int (* dberrhandle(int (*)()))()'

in FreeTDS's sybdb.h dberrhandle is defined as follows:
extern  int (*dberrhandle( int (*handler)() )) ();

in Sybase's Headers it is defined differently:
EHANDLEFUNC CS_PUBLIC dberrhandle  PROTOTYPE((EHANDLEFUNC handler));


Unfortunately, I do not know much about function pointers, can anyone help me 
with this? I think it would be nice to fix this in the FreeTDS header files 
so that it gets a little bit more compatible with Sybase and M$.

Thanks,

Harry
