DLL function prototypes using pointers

[dragonsphere]

I have not used Dev-C++ in a very long time and thought I would give it a try again. Anyway I am having issues with the following function prototypes for a DLL function.

// external callback
typedef void __cdecl (*exteventproc)(char * eventtype);

// exported function prototype
extern "C" DLLIMPORT char * __cdecl Init(int Handle, exteventproc Addr, char * KeyString, int &maxpar, int &bufsize);

When placed in my header file it complains about a couple of things. First it complains about the int &maxpar Parameter? "syntax error before '&' token" Grant it this code is from an old version of Dev-C++ but I would have thought that this would compile in the new 4.9.9.2 version too?
