[comp.lang.c++] g++ and Xwindows' Intrinsic.h include file

noren@dinl.uucp (Charles Noren) (08/01/90)

We are trying to include the X11R4 Intrinsic.h file
in an application program being compiled under g++.
The g++ parser flags line #102 of Intrinsic.h

   typedef char *String;

Now we think that Intrinsic.h defines String as

   #define String char*

earlier in Intrinsic.h.  This combination of definitions
looks wrong.  Has anyone run into this problem?  Is there
a solution?  Has anyone successfully compiled a program which 
includes Intrinsic.h with g++?  Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
