Sorry, I meant to answer the last part too. I'm using libxc and xenstore
headers, as well as the public Xen headers with C++, and so far the only
trouble I've had was what this patch is addressing, and there's
something called "private" (a macro or a variable, I don't remember
exactly) which is a keyword in C++. I've done the following to work
around that:

extern "C" {
#include <xenstore.h>
#define private rprivate /* private is a C++ keyword */
#include <xen/mem_event.h>
#undef private
}

I've understood Tim's message about "extern "C"" so I've fixed it at
#include-time in my code. :)


HTH,
Razvan
