[Bug 311368] [NEW] Problems when linking other packages (i.e.: Asterisk with iLBC) with this library (libvpb0)

[malaiwah]

Public bug reported:

As reported here:
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=14138

Summary:
 * libvpb0 is a dependency of the Asterisk package (Voicetronix API)
 * Digium removed the iLBC codec from their svn tree, but we can get it compiled using their contrib/scripts/get_ilbc_source.sh script.
 * If compiling the Asterisk package by hand, the window() function from VPB overlaps the window() function from the iLBC codec source code.

I would suggest either of these projects to rename the function to a better name that associates its functionnality to its corresponding project.
I uploaded a patch to Digium to rename that function to ilbc_window() when downloading and extracting the source code (from a RFC).

This bug could also affect other packages as well, I think this function name should be changed in the vpb-driver.
I'm posting this bug onto Launchpad because I'm using Ubuntu, but I will try to contact Voicetronix to make them aware of this issue and maybe patch their original source code.

window() function prototype from vpb-driver: http://vpb-driver.sourcearchive.com/documentation/4.2.32/wind_8h-source.html
window() function prototype from ilbc_codec: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3951.txt

** Affects: vpb-driver (Ubuntu)
