Not DEAD, just... deprecated.

At this point, it's very much still C based code. Where there is a lot
that we can do with C++, for port maintenance you will only need the
following knowledge:

class foo is approximately struct foo

FooSomething (Foo *, blah *, blah *) becomes
Foo::something (blah *, blah *)
and is called:

class Foo;
Foo->something (bar, meta);

And secondly, enums and structs can be nested, to give tighter scope:

struct Foo {
  struct Bar {
    enum AnEnum {FOO, BAR};
  };
};

gives the following enums:
Foo::Bar::FOO
and
Foo::Bar::BAR

within a method (a function declared within a struct) of Foo, these
would be seen as
Bar::FOO and Bar::BAR.
Within a method of Bar, they become
FOO and BAR.

Clear as mud?

Serious, have a look at the squid-3 sources before you decide you cannot
work with them.
