Several people reported C++ compilation errors due to things that C
compilers allow but C++ compilers do not. Fix both of these problems,
and hope there aren't more of these brown paper bags in 2 months when we
finally get these fixes through the process into a released xfsprogs.
NOTE: I am submitting this bugfix over the objections of a former
maintainer, who insists that we should remove this function from the
published userspace ABI instead of fixing the C++ compilation errors.
No deprecation period, no discussion, just a hard drop of an already
provided and correct C function, which would be in contravention of
Linus' rules. IOWs, removing ABI that have already shipped in a
released kernel requires a careful deprecation period, so I will let
that maintainer run that process.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
