How do I port C++ code to Esp8266 and Esp32 using interrupts from code written for older boards

Question

I am trying to port some C++ Arduino code to more recent ESP8266 and ESP32 boards. I have checked already the Arduino Stack Exchange forum unfortunately without results

Porting this C++ code from older Arduino to Esp8266/Esp32 does not work, I have added also the compiling errors at the bottom of this question:

/*  rcTiming.ino -- JW, 30 November 2015 -- 
 * Uses pin-change interrupts on A0-A4 to time RC pulses
 *
 * Ref: https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/18183/read-rc-receiver-channels-using-interrupt-instead-of-pulsein

#include <Streaming.h>

volatile unsigned long rcRises[4]; // times of prev. rising edges

// Be sure to call setup_rcTiming() from setup()
void setup_rcTiming() {
  rcOld = 0;

  PCICR  |= 0x02;       // enable pin-change interrupts
}
// Define the service routine for PCI vector 1
ISR(PCINT1_vect) {
  byte rcNew = PINC & 15;   // Get low 4 bits, A0-A3

  }

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Starting RC Timing Test");
   setup_rcTiming();
}

void loop() {
  unsigned long rcT[4]; // copy of recent pulse lengths
  unsigned int rcN;
  if (rcChange) {

    // Data is subject to races if interrupted, so off interrupts
    cli();          // Disable interrupts
    rcN = rcChange;
    rcChange = 0;       // Zero the change counter
    rcT[0] = rcTimes[0];
    rcT[1] = rcTimes[1];
    rcT[2] = rcTimes[2];
    rcT[3] = rcTimes[3];
    sei();          // reenable interrupts

    Serial << "t=" << millis() << " " << rcT[0] << " " << rcT[1]
       << " " << rcT[2] << " " << rcT[3] << " " << rcN << endl;
  }
  sei();            // reenable interrupts
}

The compiling error is:

expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token

I am seeking suggestions to get it working thank you.

All ESP32 GPIO pins are interrupt-capable pins. You can use interrupts, but in a different way.

attachInterrupt(GPIOPin, ISR, Mode);

Mode – Defines when the interrupt should be triggered. Five constants are predefined as valid values:HIGH, LOW, CHANGE, RISING, FALLING

void IRAM_ATTR ISR() {
Statements;
}

Interrupt service routines should have the IRAM_ATTR attribute, according to the ESP32 documentation
