Description Ilya Konstantinov 2015-04-13 10:45:36 UTC
libnice stores its headers in e.g. /usr/include/nice/ but 'pkg-config --cflags nice'
gives '-D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/nice' meaning a generic-named header should as agent.h, debug.h or interfaces.h is includable as:

  #include <agent.h>
  #include <debug.h>
  #include <interfaces.h>

Moreover, the include-guard used in e.g. agent.h:

  #ifndef _AGENT_H
  #define _AGENT_H

is overly generic as well, and risks collision with other packages.
Comment 1 Olivier Crête 2015-04-13 21:51:38 UTC
I couldn't agree more, but changing this would break existing apps. So it will have to wait until we do an API break of some kind.
Comment 2 Ilya Konstantinov 2015-04-16 17:17:37 UTC
The include-guards can be changed already.
Comment 3 Olivier Crête 2015-04-20 19:45:15 UTC
Possibly, we should encourage people to use #include <nice/agent.h> instead of just <agent.h>.

I improved the guards a little.

    Prefix include guards
    
    The include file names are very generic, at least make
    the guards a bit less generic.
