I cringe whenever I'm forced to use >`cc'... I miss the prototypes and the new-style declarations. I think it's Macro frontends can do all the typecoercions of arguments that you need. They can also map nice long surface names to short cryptic link names, should you need that. I tend to use a macro frontend for malloc: #define new(req,type) ((type *) malloc ((unsigned)(req) * sizeof (type))) ... int *table; struct whatnot *foo; ... table = new (117,int); ... foo = new (1,struct whatnot); ... -- Niels J|rgen Kruse Email njk@diku.dk Mail Tustrupvej 7, 2 tv, 2720 Vanlose, Denmark
