same result:

gcc  -DVERSION_NUM=1.04 -I./include -I.  -c -o ipc-daemon.o
ipc-daemon.cc
In file included from include/IpcNtExt.h:51,
                 from ipc-daemon.cc:40:
include/IpcNtStr.h:72: ANSI C++ forbids data member `current_nb' with
same name as enclosing class
ipc-daemon.cc: In function `int main(int, char **)':
ipc-daemon.cc:278: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in
assignment
make: *** [ipc-daemon.o] Error 1

But the question is, should sys/strace.h *really* contain C++
constructs? I thought system header files were supposed be universally
C, not C++.
