[lttng-dev] Horrible hack to make C++ link to liburcu

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

Still working with the C++ standards committee to add RCU to C++, and
of course one step on that path is to make C++ programs build against
liburcu.  The following hack-patch makes this work by disabling C++ access
to wfcqueue and by making C++ see the rcu_head ->next field as a void *.

This supports prototyping, but what would be the real fix?

							Thanx, Paul
