two options:
1 copy everything to a unix system.. write a few shell scripts that
search and replace the strings "VoidHand" and "Handle" with the
string "MemHandle"
sed -e s/Handle/MemHandle/g -e s/VoidHand/MemHandle/g file.c > file.c
messy.. (but you gotta love unix) :>>
2 write a header file that does this:
#undef VoidHand // if it was declared, toast it
#define VoidHand MemHandle
#undef Handle // if it was declared, toast it
#define Handle MemHandle
the new headers wont have VoidHand and Handle - which have been
replaced by the typedef MemHandle. these lines of code should work
the only problem here is that you still have the old declarations
used.. forget the #defines and your code is toast. the first solution
is the best, but... is much harder to do.
i believe that your source is TOAST *only* if you compile under a
the new headers. if you dont use the new headers.. you dont have a
problem :> - i remember them saying it does not affect binaries..
only source code.
PS: the preprocessor is your FRIEND.. i miss that in Java :(
cheers.
