I had that same problem. I wrote a C library [1] that has a structure field named "class". It's "class" because the protocol being described (DNS) calls that particular field "class" [2]. And I'm not about to pay lip service to an abomination like C++ [3][4].
Yeah I super hate this. There's no other language that requires other languages to contort themselves like C++ does. Every time I see `#ifdef __cplusplus` or `klass` my blood pressure spikes.
