yeah i'm dreaming, but i'd still like to see it happen. right now i have a
testfile from mozilla that won't build w/ dmc (or bcw).

this 'file' (it's actually the trimmed preprocessed output from ms cl for some
file in mozilla)

Walter, are the features used here things on your todolist?

I've once thought about trying it, but I have been, short in time the last 5 years... <g> Jan

using the preprocessor output from ms vc++ probably isn't a good idea - you should have a look at nscore.h for some compiler capability defines: In particular you should undef HAVE_CPP_MODERN_SPECIALIZE_TEMPLATE_SYNTAX, HAVE_CPP_EXPLICIT, HAVE_CPP_TYPENAME (and probably others) for dm8.x.

I think just deleting "template <>" will be fine in this case (but the C++ capability defines should already take care of that). bye, Christof -- http://cmeerw.cjb.net Jabber: cmeerw jabber.at mailto cmeerw at web.de ICQ: 93773535, Yahoo!: cmeerw ...and what have you contributed to the Net?
