Heh, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't... see the changing behaviour of
gcc's '-I-' option down the years...
" In addition, `-I-' inhibits the use of the directory of the current
file directory as the first search directory for `#include "FILE"'. "
That little clause left me stuck in a deep dark hole which I could only get
out of by putting a #include_next in my project's debug/debug.h so that it
didn't get in the way of the STL's debug/debug.h, which various STL headers
#include and rely on the current file directory as being first in the include
search path.... Yuck. Horrible problem, horrible solution.
cheers,
