Hi Michael, Thank you for the notice.
I've recently improved on this, with this commit: https://github.com/ecere/ecere-sdk/commit/8e262d7cf9566d5f1ced373d3caf0ca31c73beaf Also note our related issue @ http://ecere.com/mantis/view.php?id=99 There is one issue with the latest commit though, it breaks builds with GCC 4.4. Anonymous unions were not part of the standard prior to C99 and they were working with GCC as an extension, but GCC 4.4 seems to be expecting extra sets of brackets, which I'm planning to have the compiler generate, hopefully this weekend. We will have an upcoming 0.44.10 release which should solve this issue. Should we take any measure in the meantime?
