Comment from Thomas Bushnell: “This is not a bug. The headers are also not usable in pascal or fortran programs.”

Sun 06 Mar 2011 08:43:05 PM UTC, original submission:

for instance:
/usr/include/hurd/signal.h: In function 'hurd_sigstate* _hurd_self_sigstate()':
/usr/include/hurd/signal.h:136: error: invalid conversion from 'void' to 'hurd_sigstate*'
and hurd/hurd.h

Even with external "C" { }

I tried to submit a patch to turn them c++, but roland rejected it,
saying (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2007-08/msg00006.html)
“I really think you need to find another approach. The libc
code is in C, actually in GNU C. The original purpose of C++ was
to be usefully interoperable with C code, and it's a shame if its
implementors have lost sight of that. But their failings are not going
to make me start using an uglified stupid hybrid crap style instead of
GNU C.”
