Subject: netinet/in.h causes compilation problems with C++

Date: Sat, 29 Nov 1997 17:55:55 +0200

Package: libc6.1-dev
Version: 2.0.5c-0.1

This is the libc-dev that I have installed on the Debian/Alpha system
I'm using and maintaining.

Consider the following file (foo.cc):

	#include <netinet/in.h>
	
	int main(void) {
		return 0;
	}

The main program is there just to make sure the program is a correct
program.

If I compile this with c++, it fails:

   $ c++ foo.cc
   In file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:126,
		    from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:25,
		    from foo.cc:2:
   /usr/include/sys/select.h:48: conflicting types for `struct __fd_set'
   /usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:46: previous declaration as `struct fd_set'

However, if I rename it to foo.c and compile with gcc, it works fine.
Since I don't understand C++ very well, I'll leave it to the relevant
maintainers to hunt the actual bug down.

(FWIW, this prevents me from compiling at least the abuse package for
the Alpha. :-)

It seems that this bug was fixed sometime in the past, I certainly 
cannot reproduce it with the test case.
