yes, i also find it a good way to diagnose weird preprocessor errors: the thing is, chances are that the bug won't manifest on the next call -- two or three files down the line g++ will crash again either with a bogus "parse error before `*'" or just silently fail... i suppose i could script a stress-test to keep re-running the preprocess/compile stages until one of them breaks, and then look at the output, but the intermittent character and the other problems make me suspect it's not just a gcc/g++/cpp bug... marmosets, Bryan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
