--- Comment #7 from Dimitry Andric <d...@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Fernando Apesteguía from comment #4) First of all, the c-client software was clearly written before C++ existed, since it uses C++ keywords as struct member names, so that is why they have to hack around it with #defining those keywords to something non-conflicting. However, those defines should *not* be active when including any system headers, and that is clearly violated by the c-client.h file. It is simply totally broken, and you were lucky that it worked at all. In any case, it is likely not about clang or clang++, but about the used libc++ headers. If you use C++, libc++ overrides certain standard C headers such as stdio.h, string.h, etc. Since the c-client headers are including multiple system headers with 'private' redefined, this wreaks havoc when it eventually goes into libc++'s own headers. I guess g++ doesn't work that way, but I haven't investigated. In my opinion, c-client is obsolete software which is clearly incompatible with C++, and should either be patched up to relatively non-ancient standards, or ditched altogether. Note that mailsync itself does not look much better. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
