Wrong. Symbian does not support static data in DLL:s in all versions out there: http://developer.symbian.com/main/downloads/papers/static_data/SupportForWriteableStaticDataInDLLsv1.1.pdf I'm not that familiar with symbian development, or the symbian device landscape, but those who are could give their view on whether it makes any sense to only support the versions that do have static data for DLL:s in upstream glib and the rest as for example a branch. While Tor's suggestion wasn't totally awkward for developers and might even have other benefits (eg. for debugging), changing 2000 LOCs just to get symbian in sounds like a bit of a stretch. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
