Re: [vdr] [RFC] [PATCH] tools.c: use C++ headers instead of deprecated C headers

Looking at Henning Heinhold’s patch [1] he changed the includes to the C++ headers instead of the C headers. At least Wikipedia says [2], that the C headers are deprecated.

C++ provides this functionality in the header cstdarg; the C header, though permitted, is deprecated in C++.

Is it desirable to change the includes in all files? If yes, is there a tool which would accomplish this, since after the substitution a reordering is needed?

I like the classic headers more, so unless they are completely eradicated (which I doubt will ever happen, because it would simply break too many sources) I'm not going to switch to C++ headers.
