Offtopic: Did anyone thought yet about having namespaces for #pragma stuff ? For example: #pragma vnd.sun::storage_return strchr(1) // for the (vendor) Sun specific statement above #pragma org.openmp::foobar // for OpenMP-specific stuff and so on. Currently all the different #pragma stuff in one flat namespace is a horrible portability issue and people rarely use #ifdef to protect these statements correctly. Is there someone at Sun who's interested to discuss solutions and carry them forth to the ISO-C working group ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
