Description Eric Blake 2013-07-02 00:05:38 UTC
Description of problem:
The current mingw header <rpc.h> pollutes the namespace with a '#define interface ...'.  While this is bad practice, the dbus package should avoid the problems it causes by picking names that are less likely to collide in its function declarations, or even omitting parameter names altogether (and just declaring parameter types without names).  I ran into this while trying to cross-compile libvirt for mingw.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mingw32-dbus-1.6.8-1.fc18.noarch
mingw32-headers-2.0.999-0.15.trunk.20121110.fc18.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat foo.c
2. i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -c \
   -I /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0 \
   -I /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/dbus-1.0/include \
   foo.c

Actual results:

1. #include <rpc.h>
#include <dbus/dbus.h>
int dummy;

2. In file included from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-connection.h:32:0,
                 from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-bus.h:30,
                 from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h:31,
                 from foo.c:2:

/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-message.h:153:58: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before 'struct'


Expected results:
no compilation error
