Bug#686525: /usr/include/unicap/unicap.h: unicap.h uses "private" keyword as variable name

[Jorge Muñoz]

Package: libunicap2-dev
Version: 0.9.12-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/include/unicap/unicap.h
Tags: upstream patch

As unicap uses "private" as a variable name, it is not possible to
compile this library with c++ code (usefull in OpenFrameworks 0.061,
for example).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a test file with
$ cat >> test_unicap.cpp << EOF
#include "unicap.h"
int main(){}
EOF

2. Try to compile it with:
$ g++ `pkg-config --cflags libunicap` -o test_unicap test_unicap.cpp

This will give the following error:

In file included from test_unicap.cpp:1:0:
/usr/include/unicap/unicap.h:218:34: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘private’
/usr/include/unicap/unicap.h:218:33: error: expected ‘;’ at end of member declaration
/usr/include/unicap/unicap.h:218:41: error: expected ‘:’ before ‘;’ token 

This problem is fixed in upstream, but not in this version of unicap.

I have submitted a patch where the name of the variable is changed
in unicap.h as well as in unicap.c
