[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] libbpf: Do not use btf_dump__new macro for c++ objects

From: Jiri Olsa <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-23 13:17:43
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [library] (libbpf), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

As reported in here [0], C++ compilers don't support __builtin_types_compatible_p(),
so at least don't screw up compilation for them and let C++ users
pick btf_dump__new vs btf_dump__new_deprecated explicitly.

[0] https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/283#issuecomment-986100727
Fixes: 6084f5dc928f ("libbpf: Ensure btf_dump__new() and btf_dump_opts are future-proof")
