Neither Wind River, FIRST, Eclipse or FSF had anything to do with mangling your headers. Someone probably accidentally deleted the method name - happens to everyone now and then.

Visual Studio is not (though it can be painfully modified) by default for cross development. Using Eclipse under Linux for cross development is the choice for many professionals. Personally I would not touch Visual Studio with a ten foot pole - every other version is way too buggy and I don't write PC apps.
The very fact that eclipse doesn't clear out old errors and I have to manually delete them for my program to compile correctly raises many red flags for me. Visual Studio has worked perfectly for me, and I've never had as terrible of a problem as it throwing ghosts errors at me, like eclipse, for example the other day I had the line:
double speed = 0.5;
and got and error that said (not exact quote) "incompatible types, int to double"
My point is, Eclipse hasn't been stable at all for me, and I would rather have a tool I know works and trust (Visual Studio) than a tool that has not worked so far. I can't even import a project into a workspace, for crying out loud!
