This is a crappy problem but it's workaroundable in the header by
using something like:
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define SOME_MEMBER_NAME alternative_name
#else
#define SOME_MEMBER_NAME bad_name
#endif
and then in the struct...
struct Foo
{
UINTN SOME_MEMBER_NAME;
};
It should work around these C++ issues while keeping compat with existing code.
Although yes, avoiding C++ keywords is a good idea, particularly if
you're planning to bring more C++ into edk2.
