don't go away, i have a "standardising" question for the gurus: vrweb used a function called name2() that i eventually found in the libg++2.8.2-dev package in /usr/include/g++-2/generic.h
#define name2(a,b) gEnErIc2(a,b) #define gEnErIc2(a,b) a ## b now dselect tells me: libg++2.8.2-dev - The GNU C++ extension library - development files. This package contains some GNU classes. This package is no longer supported upstream (as most of its functionality is now in the standard C++ library) - do not use this for development of new software; use libstdc++ instead. at the moment i just copy pasted the two above lines into one of vrweb's header files, but what is the "correct" way to code this functionality? if its not in the stdc++ headers, how are people supposed to solve similar problems that name2() solved? (even tho its pretty damn simple code). hope you can help, Paul ps Fabien: i'm just sending this to you so that you don't worry about answering my last email if you were thinking about it...
