That's normal (really a feature, not a bug) - -lib creates more than one object file from a module to make executables smaller (by linking not the full module object file, but it's piece that the executable really needs), it also does not any IO with hdd, all compiling and linking in RAM, so creating static libs is extremely fast and doesn't produce object files as output. I've just compared -lib results from 1.035 and 1.036, it now works differently. Sorry, what I meant to say was that the executable ends up bigger when using libs created with -lib.

I don't know if it would be worthwhile, but I would say there are two aspects that likely would need to be observed for this to work out favorably: * Having non-unicode versions of the symbols/keywords available in Unicode, such that non-Uunicode editing and viewing is always possible as a fallback. This has some important consequences though, such as making Unicode-symbol-usage unable to solve the shortage of brackets for, for example, the template instantiation syntax (because an alternative ASCII notation would still be necessary). * Having a way to directly input the Unicode symbols in the keyboard. One reason is because of typing succinctness, and another, is because I find the alternative (have the editor/IDE automatically change an ASCII character sequence into a Unicode symbol) to have several disadvantages: First is that it doesn't work outside the editors/IDEs configured to do so, (which is a bummer, there is actually plenty of code written outside that: newsgroups, articles, forums, bug reports, IRC, etc.). Second, I personally like that the editor always require exactly N backspaces to erase N typed characters[*]. So, anyone knows if it is possible on Windows (I believe in Unix it is) to configure your keyboard mapping with custom settings? For example, if I press AltGr-O, it inputs some Unicode character of my choosing? I'd guess this oughtta do it: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx -- Simen

Does anyone have suggestions for a possible one? Preferably somewhat circle-shaped. auto Ø = null; // \Oslash; I assume you're not serious...

Anyone using a shell for Windows that works and supports UTF-8 properly? A regular Windows console supports UTF-8 to some extent: * Change console font to Lucida Console * issue chcp 65001 You can even get more fonts into there with a bit of hackery. I did that but type filewith-utf8.txt still prints garbage. --bb
