    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 -

        I saw this at work last week: #define void int :wtf::omg: That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]

                #define DoubleFloat double

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