I'm a bit mixed on this. On the one hand, I'd like for crossfire to work on as many systems as reasonably possible (however if that was really the case, then I shouldn't use long long). OTOH, I really don't want to include functions for every call that may not work quite right on every system. This is more of a problem - this isn't an issue of missing a function (in which case something like a #ifndef HAVE_ATOLL myatoll() ... #endif) - something like a myatoll would be needed. this poses problems in that a developer could use the wrong call someplace, getting the wrong behaviour. It also means that if the OS in question has a more optimized version, that won't get used. _______________________________________________ crossfire-devel mailing list crossfire-devel at lists.real-time.com https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/crossfire-devel
