Anyone ever try compiling a G++ program including <net/if.h> ?
It has the ifnet struct with struct if_data declared inside it
struct ifnet {
.
.
.
struct if_data {
.
.
} if_data;
}
Of course if_data is declared in the scope of ifnet, so when
if_data is referenced again in the file below, g++ kicks
and screams.
I know there are lots of things I can do to fix this, but I
thought maybe someone might think its more appropriate to
declare if_data in the scope it was meant to be used in for
the regular release of FreeBSD. (by the way, its the same
in NetBSD too)
