I don't recall what's the long term solution for this. We could use
gnulib's namespace support [2], but the disadvantage is that we would
need to use gnulib::some_function (assuming we name the namespace
"gnulib") instead of just some_function to use the "fixed" version.
If we use some_function directly, it will use the buggy version on
those systems where it is buggy.
Wrap all of gdb in a namespace. Recall that this was what led to C++
wildmatching support.
I don't understand how this will help. If you have
#define open rpl_open
namespace gdb {
struct target_ops {
void open();
}
}
The macro will still wrongfully replace open.
