I would like to follow up on Pippijn's recent enthusiasm by proposing
the great Unicon Cleanup of 2007:
I would like to solicit the community for your currently-in-use platforms
and your wish-supported platforms. Platforms that nobody is willing to
speak up for are fair game for #ifdef reduction. Those of you with a
memory will recall that the Icon source code base cleaned up its #ifdef's
awhile back, and Unicon was actually more conservative at the time,
preferring to retain things like IBM mainframe #ifdefs. But we should
clean up what we can.
In order to keep the list traffic reasonable, I suggest you e-mail these to
me, and I will post them on the Unicon.org website and announce results
on the list after a reasonable period (say, two weeks).
Unicon is still in active development, meaning new features are getting
added, performance improvements are in progress, and so one. We
welcome new ports and platforms to run on; usually that is volunteer- or
customer-driven.
Cheers,
Clint
