[asbestos suit donned? check!]
The style(9) man page contains the statement
Don't use the same name for a struct tag and a typedef, as this makes
the code unusable from C++.
My question is how does this make the code unusable from C++?
An interweb search doesn't turn up any examples or explanations, just
the usual explanations of why you need typedef in C but not in C++.
While I know C the subtleties of C++ are beyond me. The only detailed
references seem to be historic variations on the BSD style page.
Not one to take inscriptions on a tablet without question, it would be
nice to understand the reason for this statement.
