bits/in.h, C++ and the Hurd

[Marcus Brinkmann]

Hi,

the bits/in.h version used on the Hurd triggers a compilation failure
when included from a C++ program with g++:

g++ -O2 -g -I/usr/include `gnome-config  --cflags gnomeui` -D VERSION=\".30\" 
-c DICTClient.cc
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:250,
                 from DICTClient.cc:39:
/usr/include/bits/in.h:54: ANSI C++ forbids data member `ip_opts' with same 
name as enclosing class

This is the relevant part of the file bits/in.h:

struct ip_opts
  {
    struct in_addr ip_dst;      /* First hop; zero without source route.  */
    char ip_opts[40];           /* Actually variable in size.  */
  };

This was detected when compiling gaspell.

Thanks,
Marcus
