Bug#216921: The Problem exists in other programms too
Hello,
I think it's not the right way, to break now a lot of programs without
warning! I have the same effects in "kino":
<snip>
In file included from /usr/include/linux/device.h:15,
from /usr/include/linux/videodev.h:6,
from v4l.h:40,
from page_bttv.h:29,
from kino_common.cc:50:
/usr/include/linux/ioport.h:91: error: parse error before `new'
/usr/include/linux/ioport.h:92: error: parse error before `new'
/usr/include/linux/ioport.h:93: error: parse error before `new'
/usr/include/linux/ioport.h:94: error: parse error before `new'
/usr/include/linux/ioport.h:99: error: `allocate_resource' declared as
function
returning a function
<snip>
It worked until now without any problems, but after the last "unstable"
libc6-dev update it does not work anymore. If such a change has to
happen, then not without throwing warning messages on each compilation
of such userspace applications, for at least one year and change it
afterwards.
SO IT IS A BUG! The tenor: "Oh sorry, it was never meant to work that
way, so we made sure, that it will not work" is the microsoft way of
life and it is the false one. It worked until now without any problems,
it does not work anymore, so we have introduced a bug!
With kind regards Tino H. Seifert
