Being able to compile kernel-private header files in C++ is not a requirement. |
To reproduce compile the following code using g++. //file: test.cpp #include <linux/cdrom.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { return 0; } Compiling the above with gcc 4.11 on RedHat 5 RC1 yields: g++ -o test test.cpp This compile succeeds. g++ -pedantic -o test test.cpp This compile fails with errors in <linux/byteorder/swab.h> /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h: In function ‘__u16 __fswab16(__u16)’: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:134: error: ISO C++ forbids /braced-groups within expressions /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:134: error: ISO C++ forbids /braced-groups within expressions /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h: In function ‘__u16 __swab16p(const /__u16*)’: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:138: error: ISO C++ forbids /braced-groups within expressions /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:138: error: ISO C++ forbids /braced-groups within expressions /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h: In function ‘void __swab16s(__u16*)’: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:142: error: ISO C++ forbids /braced-groups within expressions /usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:142: error: ISO C++ forbids /braced-groups within expressions
