Using #define for Status and Bool can cause namespace conflicts

[Ceriand]

In X11/Xlib.h on line 110:
#define Bool int
#define Status int

This can cause namespace conflicts if you use the word Status as a variable name or type eg:
SomeClass::Status SomeClass::SomeMethod(void)
{
    int Status;
}

These should be typedef'ed so they get the right scope.

you should report this upstream: bugs.freedesktop.org.

Hi ceriand,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Bryce,

Did you even read the bug? This is a compile time bug for programs using libX11. You don't even have to have X running for this to matter, so doing those things wouldn't help in the slightest.

You need to report this issue upstream, it's not something appropriate for fixing at the distro level.
