Shouldn't the workaround be in the header itself ?

Not really, the problem is that we include libgpsmm.h here which is including gpsd/3.15/include/gps.h using an already used system typedef. From my point of view the right fix would be to change the name in gps.h but this is out of my scope.

Ambiguous statement on my side...

You could move it there but the problem only occurs in combination with libgpsmm.h which might not be included by other orogen tasks inherit from this task. Therefore, to not globally undef policy_t I would keep it in the c++ file, No?

I am so missing something. Why do you need to define policy_t before including GPSDTask.hpp if the problem is in libgpsmm ?

I basically rename policy_t to mach_policy_t insight mach/policy.h using the pre compiler. After that I can undef policy_t which would not be possible if mach/policy.h would have used it for its typedef. Now, the policy_t is free to be used by gps.h for its struct.

#ifdef __APPLE__
#define policy_t mach_policy_t
#include "GPSDTask.hpp"
#undef policy_t
#else
#include "GPSDTask.hpp"
#endif

#include <libgpsmm.h>

using namespace gps;
