FreeType “generic” conflict with c++/cx keyword

Question

I have a problem with putting c++ and c++/cx together. I need to use FreeType library, but they are using \"generic\" name for some variable. I also need to enable VC++ extensio

Answer 1

Use preprocessor to rename this keyword temporarily:

#define generic GenericFromFreeTypeLibrary
#include .... files from FreeTypeLibrary
#undef generic

This solution is not very nice but should work.
