theorethically, yes, but, in practice :

egrep -w class\|private\|public\|protected\|new\|list *

isdn.h: char *private;
md.h: void *private;
skbuff.h: } private;
pci.h: unsigned int class;
parport.h: void *private;
hdlcdrv.h: unsigned char new;
joystick.h: struct js_list *list;
list.h: struct list_head *first = list->next;

the latest conflicts with stl.

btw, stl works with some minor modifications, compiled a module, was
happy-

So, kernel headers, at least, as a minimum, should be compatible.

about half a year ago I changed the headers I needed to be compatible,
but, it is a pain to keep it up to date.


elmer.
