Hi,
I want to include sparse as a library in C++ and access fields of the
structs such as symbol and expression directly, but some of the
variables in sparse are keywords in C++ so they cannot be included in
C++ directly. I have several fixes below that are not ideal, and any
feedback is appreciated.
1. Append an underscore to C++ keywords, for instance change new to
new_. The change only involves the code that I included so there might
be some C++ keywords in sparse that are unchanged.
2. Replace every keyword with a macro:
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define NEW new_
#else
#define NEW new
#endif
Similar to solution 1, this is not complete, and both 1 and 2 involves
about 200 changes already.
3. When including sparse header files, guard them with
#define new new_
#include ...
#define new_ new
This does not involve change to sparse but it imposes weird restriction
to the ordering of other C++ libraries that I do not understand at all.
I can send the patches if one of the fixes is acceptable. Alternatively,
if there is a better way, please let me know.
Cheers,
