It's confusing that libbpf-provided helper macro doesn't start with LIBBPF. Also "declare" vs "define" is confusing terminology, I can never remember and always have to look up previous examples. Bypass both issues by renaming DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS into a short and clean LIBBPF_OPTS. To avoid breaking existing code, provide: #define DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS LIBBPF_OPTS in libbpf_legacy.h. We can decide later if we ever want to remove it or we'll keep it forever because it doesn't add any maintainability burden.
