Hi all, it would be great if g_canvas.h would be c++ compilable. The problem is that the reserved c++ word "template" is used as a function parameter a couple of times.
Am i allowed to change the cvs version or what is the common procedure of that?
greetings, Thomas

If it is really a bug and as simple to change as that, you might do both, send a patch to Miller and change it in the CVS. For more complex surgery it is better to put it in CVS first and let it settle a bit.
BTW, it is a bit strange that "template" is still a reserved keyword, although it is in the "extern "C" {}" section, no ?
Anyhow, hope that explained it.

I already made an effort some time ago (but i simply mentioned the problem) so maybe it would be better to directly commit into the cvs. The change has no further effects.

It's my interpretation that "extern "C" {}" is just a linkage specification but has no other consequences.
Anyhow, hope that explained it.
It did, indeed
