Hi folks,
I'm trying to get libLAS packaged and included with Fedora & EPEL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666301 and I've run into an issue involving the headers. Basically, a fairly standard build and install results in a few of the public headers containing preprocessor symbols such as: #ifdef HAVE_GDAL #ifdef HAVE_LASZIP Usually, within public header files it is considered maximally polite (and safe!) to use only pre-processor symbols with a prefix or postfix which makes them very unlikely to collide with the pre-processor symbols used in unrelated code. Unfortunately, the HAVE_GDAL and HAVE_LASZIP symbols are very similar to ones typically used by Gnu autotools (and other build systems) and are thus somewhat likely to result in unintended symbol collisions. So, are symbol collisions possible if the libLAS public headers are used in conjunction with other projects? Could they be a problem? And, if so, what is the best way to fix them? Perhaps the symbols could have a prefix or postfix to become something like: HAVE_GDAL ==> LIBLAS_HAVE_GDAL Or is there a better approach? Any help will be appreciated! thanks, Ed -- Edward H.
