Making error_t defined to enum __error_t_codes conveniently makes the
debugger print symbolic values, but in C++ int is not interoperable with
enum __error_t_codes, leading to C++ application build issues, so let's
revert error_t to int in C++.

Doesn't this change C++ name mangling?  Should it have a NEWS entry?

Thanks,

Actually, no, I'm getting 'i' in both cases ; it is apparently stricly
an API thing.

Huh, right, it would have to be an enum class to matter.

Thanks,
