Subject: ip_tables.h can't be used in C++ programs.

This method returns void* but is defined to return
a pointer to struct ipt_entry_target.

This will not compile under g++ (or, I'm unable to figure out
how to make it work w/out editing the header file).

Any reason this shouldn't be changed to:

  return (struct ipt_entry_target*)e + e->target_offset;

/* Helper functions */
static __inline__ struct ipt_entry_target *
ipt_get_target(struct ipt_entry *e)
{
         return (void *)e + e->target_offset;
}

IPv6 has similar issue....

Thanks,
Ben
