"can support" is very different from "actually support". For example, using your criteria, there is an unbounded set of standard C conforming compilers on which ECL cannot possibly work -- because the the ECL's C source code contains lots of undefined behaviour. However, we are all happy because for the limited set of platforms that ECL *actually* runs, we can expect most C compilers to be blindsighted and generate codes that *appear* to work -- even if the source code is buggy. > since it can easily support new > platforms without even changing the source code.

Only because you are insisting on maligning the topic of the discussion. -- Gaby ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Ecls-list mailing list Ecls-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ecls-list
