Random question: why floats and not doubles? Another name suggestion: cached_floats (cached_doubles) If the goal is to be able to store some data that will also show up in the XML (and text/gui output?), why not make the mechanism more general? E.g., the values array should be a union, with an enum indicating its type, and support a small number of intrinsic types: float (or double), string, int (and/or long?). Then you can call it "cached_values", or some such. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
