BTW, and referring to external header guards: while I'm generally with you regarding the degradation in readability (and increase in coupling), are you really sure that all compilers we've in use properly detect that case, and refrain from opening and parsing the same header file multiple times?
Aah. Let me rephrase. Are -you- really sure the external include guard optimization provides enough benefit on all the compilers we are using to make it worthwhile to degrade readability by adding noise? Ie. is this a modest gain in machine time compared to a perhaps much costlier loss of human time? Can you provide some numbers to support this optimization or should we perhaps be conservative and not use it? ;-) Kai -- Kai Backman, Software Engineer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
