Didn't you mean "#define stat __kabi_stat64"? Also, I can see that
would pose other issues as well say my app does "struct stat stat;"
Any error messages would refer to a variable "__kabi_stat64" instead
of the expected "stat":
No, I didn't. That's *exactly* why I didn't mean that.
#define __kabi_stat64 stat
#include <linux/abi/stat.h>
That being said, I would personally like to see it possible to typedef
struct, union and enum tags.
_OH_!!! Forgive me for missing the point entirely! I can see how
that would
work very well. Nice trick, BTW! Very sneaky, needs significant
explanatory
comments in whatever header file it ends up in lest others get
confused in
the same fashion as I. With all of that mess out of the way, I'll
work on
getting a few initial RFC patches out the door, and then we can
revisit this
discussion once there is something tangible to talk about.
Cheers,

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best
answer:
"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do
it because
life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I
draw
cartoons. It's my life."
