Fixing the 255-character limit on linker error messages is in the V9 plan, and if there are any limits you've seen for the compiler error messages, I'd like to fix those as well. I know the 3.0 C/C++ front-end we're using for the V9 compiler has better errors for some things, but I'm not sure if it does any of the "name-folding" things that Scott Meyers suggests to make template errors more managable. I'll check with the compiler team and see if they'd done anything in this area. You can see the release notes for the 3.0 FE at http://www.palmoswerks.com/gemsStorage/CWCCNotes3.0.txt. These were from the release that went out with CodeWarrior for Macintosh and Windows, V8 that was released in May... we should have a few more fixes by the time we release our next tools. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Get help at http://palmoswerks.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
