I can look at the std::auto_ptr and std::any changes. For the post part, those are search/replace. I don’t know anything about the ref counted stuff. Is there anyone around that could look at that? Is that also just a search/replace? C++ is not my strong point, I’m mostly a Java person. C++ is just used to control Christmas lights and we generally don’t push the language too hard for that. :) -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> - http://dankulp.com/blog <http://dankulp.com/blog> Talend Community Coder - http://talend.com <http://coders.talend.com/>
