Design choices. Windows DOES do hierarchical linkage, which is what you're asking for. Linux uses global linkage. For C++, global linkage is important, because of uniqueness requirements (see your other post here). In fact .. this is due to design faults in C and C++, but thats another story :) -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Try Felix, the successor to C++ http://felix.sf.net _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
