In the spirit of being pedantic, names beginning with a single underscore are supposed to be reserved for the OS and libraries. Although, since libssh2 is a library that ships with lots of Linux-derived OSes, it could probably fall under that loophole.

Yeah, and names with _libssh2 already existed in the library - I didn't introduce them now. I just tried to make our use of them a little more consistent.


Hi,
From a quick read of this excerpt from "C in a Nutshell", it seems pretty clear
that leading underscores are reserved identifiers: http://tinyurl.com/dnk36p
(goes to books.google.com... stick "preview." in front of tinyurl.com if you
don't trust me.)

The attached patch against the 20090319 snapshot changes "_libssh2" names to
non-reserved "libssh2__" names.  I applied the following one-liner to fresh
sources, then built and tested on Ubuntu 8.04:

find ./libssh2-1.0.1-20090319 -type f -name '*.[ch]' | xargs perl -pi -e
"s/_libssh2_/libssh2__/g"

Regards,
Eric
