I hope compilers do that for us, but I have no idea whether it is that case. Having a small inline template function for each of those functions sounds painful to me. If there are not too many such functions, it could probably be fine, though. - Xidorn _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list dev-tech-layout@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
