yeesh! My brain must have failed for a moment there. Too quick to the
^D. What I ment to say was:
This exact probelm has just recently been addressed. At APS we had
the same problem a few weeks ago.
Jeff Hill, Jim Kowalkowski, and a few others have been considering this
situation. It ain't gonna be easy To fix because a chid is used in a
LARGE number of programs as a typedef as well as a struct chid. Changing
it is going to make a notable impact. In fact, by convention, the EPICS
release numbering scheme would imply that we go to 4.0 because the CA
interface has changed.
An easy (hideously ugly hack read as) workaround might be to place ifdefs in
the header to change the name when compiling with C++ only. This way, and
extern "C" stuff will get what they want, and the C++ code will not suffer
from this "anachronism."
Jeff? What does ye say?
