you can't actually use a c++ compiler.

For C it works with any of -std=c99, gnu99, c11, gnu11, c17, gnu17.
Tested with both gcc and clang. I've never heard of class being a
reserved keyword and section 6.4.5 of said standard doesn't list it
neither.

Here the struct definition is in a *comment*... i.e. the user will copy
and paste somewhere else and probably change __u16 to uint16_t in
userspace. If he's building with g++, he can name the field to something
else.

If it was something we were defining in this header than I would agree
with you... to retain compatibility with c++, not c99.
