Thanks for posting this patch. I promised someone on here some months ago I'd do a proper version of this patch based on static upcalls thinking that the then upcoming MSVC10 had support for variadic templates. Unfortunately, it doesn't and hence I have found it all too easy to make excuses to leave it till later until when it does. > I have been using this in my application for a few months now and I am > fairly confident in its completeness when NOT embedding python > interpreters.

I see that you based your patch on my original patch. My original patch DID support embedding, but there was a lot of TnFOX-specific stuff in there to achieve it. If I remember rightly, it was a bit of a hornet's nest :) Cheers, Niall -- Technology & Consulting Services - ned Productions Limited. http://www.nedproductions.biz/. VAT reg: IE 9708311Q.
