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

[Sverker Eriksson]

@caox:
The important thing is that both #include "erl_nif.h" and ERL_NIF_INIT 
are within export "C" {}.
I will put some #ifdef __cplusplus in erl_nif.h for next release to make 
it more convenient for C++ users.

By your compile error, it looks like you are running R13B03. I would 
recommend R13B04, even though you might get that to work with some 
(void*) casting at the right place.

@Dave:
Nice bloom filter. A performance tip is to do enif_make_atom's and store 
in static variables at load. Atom terms are allowed to be kept between 
calls.
