So, do you think it would be OK to rename 'class' above to, say,
'super_class'?
This field is used in GNUstep. What do you propose that code should
do
to work with both versions? Change the name only if __cplusplus is
defined?
Change the name unconditionally... please? :-)
Only if you can give us a really good answer to the first question. :)
Again: What do you propose that code should do to work with both
versions?
If you rename 'class' to 'super_class' and reference it as
'super_class',
then this will work in all four of our C flavors, so I'm not sure I
understand
your question... Or are you suggesting that we do something like
#ifdef __cplusplus
Class super_class;
#else
Class class;
#endif
? While possible, I'd submit that this approach will be more confusing
in the long run.
