[Rpm-maint] PATCH 1/2013 Take rid of redefinitions of __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS

[Kamil Rytarowski]

Hello!

Yes, this looks better to introduce, into the RPM code. But as it's already defined by C libraries, I would use another names, like RPM_BEGIN_DECLS and RPM_FUN_PROTOTYPE.

What do you think?

Hmm, libtool propose another, perhaps better, solution

But ymmv

I'm attaching a patch with the following change-log:

1. Stop defining __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS in fts.h
2. Replace occurences of __BEGIN_DECLS with:
extern "C" {
3. Replace occurences of __BEGIN_DECLS with:
}

Comment
=======
__BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS are already defined in the NetBSD's standard C
library as an internal definition and redefinition of it causes errors.

The possible solutions are to rename the definitions or take rid of them.

Actually __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS are used only once and encapsulate
'extern "C" {' and '}', so they aren't really helping more then obfuscating
the code.
