      Yes, those fucking defines. The only one i ever use is #define private public in my stdafx.h when i have to work with code from the other monkeys. /M

            Yep, MFC does it for debug builds snippet from some code I had laying around

            #ifdef _DEBUG
            #define new DEBUG_NEW
            #undef THIS_FILE
            static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
            #endif

            It works because to my knowledge the preprocessor does all of its work before anything language specific gets handled. James - out of order -

                                    typedef hides implementation details, and it may save a lot of typing (ponder the case where you figure you want to replace std::list with std::vector for whatever reason. A lot less to change in the code if you typedef it).
