So I just went down the rabbit hole, and the further I get the closer I get to having two exact copies of the same definitions in both glibc and the kernel and using whichever one was included first.
Is anyone opposed to that kind of solution?
Sounds interesting, please share :-)
iptables has the same issue, and solved it its way. (uapi/)linux/netfilter.h is used to get at things like union nf_inet_addr. This union contains struct in6_addr. There is no include for in6_addr in netfilter.h itself. This may break the "standalone compilation" test, but at least allows for specifying the environment-specific header for in6_addr in the C file: a. userspace: #include <netinet/in.h> before <linux/netfilter.h> b. kernel parts: #include <linux/in6.h> before <linux/netfilter.h>
