"VEZ.h" has unknown type name errors?

[ReallyComeOn]

When including the header file "VEZ.h" in a C source file, the compiler (GCC) will spit out a few unknown type name errors.

This ONLY happens in C files, not C++ files (not sure why).
Anyways a cheap fix is to add 'struct' in front of the unknown type names.

Could you paste the exact error output of the compiler?

Here's the output:

../include/vez/VEZ.h:178:11: error: unknown type name ‘VezMemberInfo’

A minimal example would help the debugging. If you could, please make a .zip containing a single file that causes the problem and post it with GCC command or Makefile/CMake/etc so a developer could build and try fixing easily.

Just create a 'main.c' file and add the line '#include "VEZ.h"'.
Then run:

gcc main.c -o main

Also, compiling with CLANG yields the exact same result.

I'm afraid that this problem is out of scope, because most V-EZ's code is C++. And you can't compile as C code since C doesn't have class keyword. So it's not possible to use V-EZ in C-only environment I think.

[ReallyComeOn]

V-EZ's lib (.so) works perfectly with only C.

The header file just has a few small mistakes with certain typedefs.

I got V-EZ compiling for my V-EZ rust bindings. Could be useful for this issue: #71
