Totally, although there we must resign ourselves to ignoring Microsoft, where C support is an afterthought. I suppose if one just wants the extra freedom to declare variables anyway, and doesn't rely on the updated runtime (like complex support) then compiling in C++ mode works. Personally I'm quite happy to ignore Microsoft, since their toolchain causes much misery. On Windows we're moving over to Lua for Windows to the mingw standard, thank the fsm. BTW, that means that the incantation -lmsvcr80 for Windows must go in builtin mode. I've been evaluating the luarocks buildled in Peter's 'Lua Batteries' windows binary zip - classic problem - it has no way of knowing that lfs is already present, tries to build it, and barfs. We also have that with package managers like Debian, where lfs is available through apt-get. Tricky problem to solve, because you need fake manifest entries (or fake rockspecs?) steve d. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
