But as we had to learn, actually just *this* was never the case. So in retrospect, the typedef only gave a false feeling of safety. As I understand it, using typedefs with named address spaces should be safe to use. Perhaps Johann can correct me if I'm wrong with this. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
