Re: BUG #13788: compile error in generic_msvc.h

Yes on extern "C". I have other stuff working

Really what I am trying to do is invoke c# code. I am going to need to call=
 SPI. I tried to find out if anybody else had done it and found nothing.

The c++ code is simply a thin shim from native c to c#

Given that win64 buildfarm members have happily been compiling this code I =
suspect that's the cause. Are you including the headers with extern "C" or =
not?

You're using SPI directly from C++? You got to be *very* careful doing that=
 - postgres uses longjmp which isn't necessarily compatible with C++ (doesn=
't call destructors to be called and such).
