Description: include/my_list.h, which gets included by user code, commits the awful sin of defining 'rest' as a macro to manipulate lists. This clashes with any user program that uses 'rest' as an identifier. The other list macros in that file all have names starting with list_, so the obvious fix is simply to rename it list_rest. For completeness, here is some sample code, and the error messages it causes: #include "my_list.h" class Foo { void rest() {} }; gcc2.95 test.cc:4: macro `rest' used without args gcc4 test.cc:4: error: expected unqualified-id before ')' token test.cc:4: error: expected `)' before '->' token How to repeat: Compile the code given above. Suggested fix: Apply http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~jfisherogden/list_rest_40.patch and http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~jfisherogden/list_rest_41.patch for MySQL 4.0 and 4.1 respectively.
