*& construct in header file

[sem]

Hallo,

I've got a DLL and header file, that contains
extern "C" {
//some other delarations
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall myfunc (unsigned char*& p1);
typedef int (__stdcall* PROCESS)(unsigned char*);
}

It's apparently for C++, but I need to use it in C program

I replaced this declaration by
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall process (unsigned char** p);

and call it as

unsigned char* m = NULL;
int result = process(&m);

Does anybody have an idea why this doesn't work? How can I use *& in pure C? Regards, Dima

extern "C" {
//some other delarations
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall myfunc (unsigned char*& p1);
//for using in C
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall myfunc_c (unsigned char** p1);
typedef int (__stdcall* PROCESS)(unsigned char*);
}
implementation:
int __stdcall myfunc_c (unsigned char** p1)
{
return myfunc(*p1);
