@repu1sion, who is helping me integrate Lib2Geom into FontForge, discovered this.
Sane C compilers, like GCC, will not allow you to link C++ code with C code that contains C++ keywords. Even if it might be technically possible, if you need to use the variables named after keywords in C++ code, you won't be able to.
There are many reasons you'd want to link C++ code with FontForge's code beyond my Lib2Geom integration. Therefore, I instructed @repu1sion to make a commit which will change all instances of C++ keywords to underscored versions. So private will become private_.
I know this might be contentious, so am making this issue so we can discuss it; perhaps someone knows a better way to use FontForge types from C++.
