Though I expect the C++ generator developers to continue development even with it disabled; in the end, it can be an advanage for them too as they'll have a lot more freedom with the generator code (i.e. new features of the generator can be experimented with without breaking EFL builds). I expect the generator to be fully working by the time we re-enable it. > > -- > Tom. > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Slashdot TV. > Video for Nerds.
