Could it be? Is the preprocessor / compiler capable of optimizing something like that, or of the form c"H"? The syntax doesn't bother me in the least, so I too see no need to waste backticks on it. > The type a^0 is equal to 0 and has no values so there > is no way to write a value of that type -- none exist :) Actually this is how I found the uninitialized val bug... I was seeing if it was possible to declare a val of type 0 by leaving off the initializer :) > The type a^1 is equal to a. I think what bothered me more was that the compiler actually does distinguish between the above types; e.g. val a: int^1 = 42; generates a type error. > Of course it is good try avoid committing something that > breaks everything and going on holiday, but there are > times I do commit broken code, particularly when I have > to reboot into Windows to check the Win32 build, > the central repository is the only way I have to share > the mods (I'm too lazy to get Samba working even though > I have two dual boot AMD64's on my desk .. :) Indeed, that's half the reason I use version control for my own projects :) Thanks for taking the time to write such an in-depth reply, it helped clear up a lot of my questions! - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
