It is pretty wonky, it wants to return the default error handler. So you have to pass a pointer to a variable. Like this (untested):
xmlGenericErrorFunc handler;
initGenericErrorDefaultFunc(&handler);
If I understand your intentions properly, this is not the function you actually want to use to suppress errors. Use xmlSetGenericErrorFunc() instead. You can use initGenericErrorDefaultFunc() to restore it again. Pass NULL.

solved expected ‘void (**)(void *, const char *)’ but argument is of type ‘void (*)(void *, const char *)
