Note that we're talking about a standard violation in the first place. The standard says you can replace operator new, so if MSVC doesn't allow you to do it properly, then you can throw the standard out of the window. If an inline operator new (for MSVC only) solved the problem, it would be ok. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
