I admit I was going on second-hand info there - serves me right for pronouncing on the issue without checking the standard first. I do see an awful lot of code around that abuses the leading underscore namespace - and I'm not accusing UnixLib here. I can only assume lots of people see them used in compiler header files and think it makes them look clever to copy the style. :( Ben _______________________________________________ GCCSDK mailing list [email protected] Bugzilla: http://www.riscos.info/bugzilla/index.cgi List Info: http://www.riscos.info/mailman/listinfo/gcc Main Page: http://www.riscos.info/index.php/GCCSDK
