The downside is that it doesn't even compile on Windows. It also creates a substantial hurdle for anyone needing to modify the code. Optimisations shouldn't be at the expense of portability. If it can't be compiled on all three of the major target platforms (generic Unix, MacOSX, Windows), it shouldn't be in the main repository but in add-ons. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
