[erlang-questions] problem when use g++ to compile erl_nif

[Dave Smith]

Take a look at the ebloom project:

http://hg.basho.com/ebloom/

That's a NIF which wraps a C++ header-style bloom filter.

Bottom line, you need to include erl_nif.h in a separate header and
then make sure that all the stuff required by erlang happens in a
extern "C" section.
