Hi all, sorry if this is a rediculously trivial problem, but I'm having some

int controlThread(int argc, char **argv) {   ....blla....blah..blah }
defined earlier in file....

execi(&controlThread, 0, NULL, 2, DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE);

And it throws an error, saying :

ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument passing


In C you should call execi() like this:

  execi(controlThread, 0, NULL, 2, DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE);  /* Removed `&' */

since a function is like an array name: it is an address.  Probably the same
applies to C++.
