    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 -

                    What the hell is a DoubleFloat, a double, a float, a double precision float ? hell no, it's simply a freaking double !!! and

                    void someFuc ( const void * const * const args )

                        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).

A lot less to change in the code if you typedef it).
