Hello!
I think it was the change from asm/types.h to linux/types.h:
-#include <asm/types.h>
+#include <linux/types.h>
...which somehow broke the VDR build with recent DVB driver releases (see
snippet A below).
The common workaround/solution to this seems to be to add a
"-D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES".
But this feels wrong to me.
Reordering the includes and making sure <sys/*> is included before
<linux/*> solves this issue too.
But ideally the include order shouldn't matter at all.
So my question is: How to deal with this? What's the recommended way for
userspace applications to include linux/dvb headers?
Here's a small example, that fails to compile with 2.6.29:
// #include <sys/types.h>
// #define __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES
#include <linux/dvb/frontend.h>
#include <linux/dvb/video.h>
int main()
{
return 0;
}
Two workarounds to this problem are to define __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES or
including <sys/*> before the linux/dvb includes.
Any comments, suggestions?
