 Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:43 am Post subject: redefining var types for header[solved] |
 |
|
hello all,
I have a gpl c header which I need to use, thing is, I don't want to change (so I won't break the license) it but I have no need for some of the vars defined in it (for example, spinlock_t) which are causing my compilation to fail.
so I've thought of redefining the types before including the header, question is, how can I do it properly?

There is no proper way to do what you are asking. The entire undertaking is decidedly improper. With that out of the way, I would like to know more about the problem before making a recommendation. How is this header causing compilation failures?

I've manage to make it work by using typedef for vars and defines for structs.
