We still have what I consider a big problem with the names of the macros. Perhaps that could be fixed by passing the auto-generated file through a sed script to put a prefix on the macro names before we start to use it?
Post processing the auto generated header may work, but I think it could be unnecessarily complicated and error proned. First, the formats of the header between Mac OS X and Solaris are different, and I'm pretty sure it'll be different for FreeBSD when it comes out with Dtrace support. Second, if there are changes in the content of the header in the future, the sed script may break. I can investigate this approach further, but I personally prefer a solution this is less error proned.
And don't think adding a simple comment before the macro call is sufficient? This can be documented so everyone knows the convention.
