Subject: C++ extension question
From: iore@cipherquest.com (Igal Ore)

I developing some extension on m$ platform with M$VC6.0 ( it's a OpenSSL crypto 
capabilities, more advanced than OpenSSL extension providing, when i fill it 
ready i will try to publish to PHP site) when core language for internals is a 
C++, meaning inside implementation of PHP functions there calls to C++ classes; 
may be in future i should actually use PHP object oriented side.

Until than was not much functions it was nice and exciting development , until 
number of functions grow to more than 60 and becomes a little hard to maintain 
in one file. I tried to do very standard thing , segregate functions by they 
functionality to different files , and all seemed to be happy in compilation but 
not in linking;

I'm receiving this
php_TPKCS12.obj : LNK2005 error: _delete already defined in cert.obj
php_TPKCS12.obj : warning LNK4006: _delete already defined in cert.obj; second 
definition ignored

I searched forums of PHP and around for some examples of somebody stuck with 
same problem , but haven't found something similar;
There some references and even explanations how to create PHP extension in C++ 
but there again considering that all PHP functions are defined and implemented 
in one file.

obliviously this is very urgent and not very "hot" issue , but still could 
somebody give a look on this .

Not interesting proposition like search for C function named "delete" is not 
counting. There is no such thing in PHP code and not in my code

My hint (and after some digging in code, another point to have open source code 
for applications) that somewhere in ZEND engine there definition that confusing 
compiler/linker that not protected from header file redefinition problems ...
