`_t` type suffixes are not POSIX compliant

Open ovanes opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

As of https://stackoverflow.com/a/44573281/98693 POSIX reserved all the names with _t suffixes. To be POSIX compliant this lib shouldn't be using any of _t suffixes :(

Is there any definition actually clashing? Note we can't change public definitions for backward compatibility

yes, this more just for the future knowledge... Currently there are no clashes, but names like context_t or socket_t might very likely be used by POSIX. On the other hand, these are C++ classes available in a namespace. Even if there are clashes, one might just need to explicitly put fully qualified namespace before them. Might get a bit murky if they will be macros...
