I too think so. Otherwise clones to the other compilers would not been in existance. <<< This is rather a design and package management issue. If you use original Xbase++ names, you create a potential name collision with another tool trying to implement the same thing. In practice this could be a problem if two overlapping subsets of these functions are implemented by two competing libs. Users won't be able to use both at the same time. A likely scenario for this is when user has some local partial implementations of some XPP classes, and will now experience collisions. In the case of GTWVG this doesn't seem very likely. >>> I do not think anybody has done so far on this front. It is only GTWVG which is implementing XbpParts. But nevertheless, this is not a big issue, a simple .ch does the trick. <<< I'd personally do the renaming after GTWVG is proven to be working properly, now it seem a bit early yet. >>> What you mean by "proven" ? For the last few years my applns are in production with GTWVG. BTW, a simple Xbase++ program has been submitted to Harbour and it ran flawless just with few changes. If anybody is interested to look into that code, speak up. <<< Much more important would be to resolve the violation of WVT* and WIN*() namespaces in GTWVG, and last but not least the build-breaker MSVC GPF, and the meaningful warnings. [ posted on the list a while ago. ] >>> WVT* namespace cannot be changed, and it need not be. WIN* namespace is under transition as we discussed earlier. I have fixed most of MSVC warnings, but do not know how to fix GPF as I am not a user of MSVC. How I can have MSVC with bulk of the downloads it attracts? Or cn you provide more info where it crashes?
