is there a reason that compiler-gcc.h defines both: #define __pure __attribute__((pure)) #define __attribute_pure__ __attribute__((pure))
one would think that the shorter form would be preferable to go along with the other short forms defined in that header file, but a quick tree scan shows that the longer form is used exclusively (although still not in what you'd call overwhelming numbers): $ grep -rw __attribute_pure__ * | wc -l 17 $ grep -rw __pure * | wc -l 1 is there any reason not to just change those few instances to the short form? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
