Here's a set of patches that inserts a step into the build process to make sure that the UAPI headers can all be built together with C++ (if the compiler being used supports C++). All but the final patch perform fixups, including:
Wait, why do we care? What has recently changed to start to directly import kernel uapi files into C++ code?
There's at least one outstanding bug due to a C++ identifier in the kernel UAPI headers.
Are you saying you explicitly don't want people to be able to use the kernel UAPI headers in C++?
And if userspace wants to do this, can't they do the C namespace trick themselves when they do the import? That must be how they are doing it today, right?
No, because there's no such trick (except with the preprocessor).
