Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth.h: fix typecast and typeof compile issue when used
 in C++

…

Another issue in combination with -std=c++0x is the use of typeof,
which is not a standard C++ feature and thus gets rejected in strict
mode.

This patch keeps the "struct __attribute__((packed))" magic and merely
changes the typecast so that it works in C and C++. typeof gets replaced
with __typeof__.

This patch seems to have never made it into bluez, and I just bumped
into the typeof/__typeof__ issue again today.  I could not find any
comments in the mailing list explaining if or why the patch was
rejected, so perhaps it just fell through the cracks?

Is there any chance of getting it accepted?

Cheers,
Trevor
