Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all I send a similar request to the KAME group a while back but got no response. Recent versions of BIND have changed the name of one of the structure members in nameser.h to be "class". Unless this is a conspiracy by C programmers to ruin the lives of C++ programmers, I can't see any good reason for this choice. The consequence, for me at least, is that I have to apply a number of patches to the FreeBSD sources before I can build a release that includes our firewall software (which is all written in C++). I'm not sure who I have to beg/cajole/beat up/give beer to to get this changed, but it really should be. gram -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
