[Firebird-devel] BLK* to void** implicit conversion problem

[John B. <bel...@cs...>]

Hi all,
	My c++ compiler, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to not allow 
the implicit conversion from a BLK* (really a blk**) to a void**.  As 
you can guess this is causing me much grief.  The current (I'm sure 
there will be more) file in question is jrd/dfw.e.  All the request 
handles are of type BLK*.  Gpre produces a number of calls to internal 
functions (such as isc_compile_request) that are expecting void**.  For 
the time being I've been changing the BLK* declaration to void**, and 
commenting it to fix later.  What is the correct fix?  Do the 
isc_compile_request, et. al functions expect a BLK* in void** clothing, 
or do the really operate on a void**.  I could define a c++ type 
operator that converts a blk->void*, but that won't help with the **'s.  
Any thoughts?  Thanks.
