I don't understand why it's happening - but it almost looks like it thinks
it's compiling a C file instead of C++.

It's saying that there is a conflict between two overloaded versions of
the _ulEndianSwap function - but they have clearly distinct argument types,
so (in C++), that's an OK thing to do.  However, it says "declaration of C function"
and NOT "declaration of C++ function" as you'd expect.

So - the question is - why does it think ul.h contains C functions?

I can't imagine why it would think that.
