It strikes me that would be almost out of the question, or at least very expensive, for anything as complicated as a C++ compiler. And yet I hear that C++ is beginning to be used for more and more embedded work, if perhaps not the LCA projects you're referring to. It's interesting to get this perspective. So different from anything I've worked on (thank goodness, at least for the sakes of airline passengers). -- Mike Small [email protected] _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
