So, do you think it would be OK to rename 'class' above to, say,

This field is used in GNUstep. What do you propose that code
should do
to work with both versions? Change the name only if __cplusplus is
defined?
Change the name unconditionally... please? :-)
Only if you can give us a really good answer to the first question.
:)
Again: What do you propose that code should do to work with both

If you rename 'class' to 'super_class' and reference it as
'super_class',
then this will work in all four of our C flavors, so I'm not sure I
understand
your question... Or are you suggesting that we do something like
#ifdef __cplusplus
Class super_class;
#else
Class class;
#endif
? While possible, I'd submit that this approach will be more
confusing
in the long run.
Yes - it would be messy and confusing. Why don't you just rename it
and
increase the ObjC runtime version number ?
Alas, incrementing the version # seems like an even bigger Pandora's
box... :-)
Then GNUstep can check for the ObjC runtime version number, and use
class
or super_class depending on the ObjC runtime version number.
I guess I'll go with the #ifdef OBJCPLUS/__cplusplus for now, since
that's
what others agreed to, it solves my problems, and (perhaps most
importantly)
theological debates are not my forte. :-)
Thanks for your support, though,
