Most compilers are not compatible (none of them supports C99 at 100 %; the better question is which subset is powerfull and implemented thouroughly). I had some surprising problems with numscons and mingw, and obviously MS compilers/runtime (each version has a different configuration for the part of the code we are talking about). cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
