Alan,
Tim's fixes are now in CVS although not quite finished: you might have to
add NOMINMAX to your pre-processor definitions.
I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
Vivian

No problems.
My code-writing skills are even worse than they were when I retired. Once
upon a time I thought that I had the hang of C++, but these days I think
that I must have been mistaken.

Sorry about calling you clueless, btw, I mistakenly thought your post was
from the same person who linked to the propaganda bullshit site on MS : I'm
no fan of MS, but I'm tired of falsehoods being used to critique them.
Especially as all those examples were null or so badly distorted to be
absolutely pointless.
Not a flame war :)
Incidentallly, I've been also failing miserably at fixing this : my code
rustiness shows badly in this instance :)
Cheers,
Nic

cl.exe which compiles C and C++ has nothing in common with the CLR compiler
(.NET).
Unrelated issues, and what Curtis said : a bit of perspective, gcc is NOT
100% compliant either.
The issue has to do with standards compliance and C++ idioms, not MS
business strategy
Funny how any sense of perspective is thrown out the window with the
opportunity to rag on MS...
Sheesh !!
P.S : if warnings prevented building, no one would be flying today or
tomorrow :) yeah, you're talking about backwards compatibility but obviously
don't have a clue : you can use old standard "unsafe" versions of the
routines if you want to, program will run fine on all versions of windows...

It is one thing to bring out a new software tool, in this case a compiler,
that enables the use of new technologies (.NET for example), but to
completely disregard the principles of backwards compatibility, forcing
software to be extensively re-written, is another.
