I am unable to use libhid with a c++ application since hid.h redefines bool.

On lines around line 20 there is a macro
#define bool _Bool
#define true  1
#define false 0

It is not legal to redefine reserved words.

This kludge only comes into play if you do not have stdbool.h.

Has anyone else attempted to use libhid in a C++ application, and if so, what did you do to get around this?

I think someone posted their source code to the list for getting libhid to compile under Visual Studio - maybe that will help.

A lot of people have had success recently with HIDAPI, so you might want to look into that instead of libhid:

It wraps a bunch of things in "#ifdef __cplusplus" so there's a chance that someone is using it with C++.
