You need to declare your function to use C calling convention using extern
"C" declaration and then you can link it into your code.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Calling C++ files from C dissector

Hello,

So i'm writing a custom dissector. I have a library for a custom protocol
which has functions i need to call. What i want to do is take the raw data,
send it to the library, and the library will send back the useful
information for output. I've written the dissector code for getting the raw
data, but now i don't know how to call the library. I want to create a
proxy, or another file that i will use to call the library so my dissector
isnt interacting directly with the library. I'm not sure how i even start to
do this. any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm new to C/C++.

Thank,
Greg
