Let me rephrase my request. SRU: minimal patch for Jaunty is attached (see comment 3)
Nominating for SRU, fulfills: (1) have an obviously safe patch The patch modifies only a header file so that extern "C" is used when developers include the header in a C++ program. This condition is tested with #if defined(__cplusplus) || defined(c_plusplus). This change doesn't affect programs written in C, is definitely safe and will make C++ developers' life a little better. The fix is from upstream and has been verified in Jaunty. TEST CASE: install libxi-dev create a new C++ program include XInput.h call the DevicePresence() function try to compile the program notice the compilation error -- _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent can't be used from C++ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
