Hey, welcome back!
Thanks :)
How was your vacation?
Great! Travelling with a 3 month old baby to the other side of the world is now proven to be doable :)

Wow. Very impressive. What a pity noone has thought of that earlier...
How is one supposed to think of something like this? The next thing we find out -- VC might already have an undocumented typeof -- just called differently :-)
I have modified the current vintage implementation to use this form of typeof, allowing it to compile with VC6.5 as well.
Did you remove __if_exists/if_not_exists stuff? This would mean it would also compile with the language extentions disabled...
Yep. VC6.5 does not implement __if_exists. I used the compile-time-constants implementation that already exists with the vintage implementation, so now it relies on two compiler bug/features + ODR in stead of one compiler bug/feature + a compiler extension :)
I guess this deprecates most of the vintage code, since that was implemented in order to allow support of VC6.5 and VC7.0.
And also removes half of the users from the compliant implementation. Really, how many are left if gcc has native typeof, and vc7 uses this stuff??
Well, competition is competition...
I think we should contact the guy and ask if he is interested in working with us. If not -- we can use his code, but I think this would be fair to ask. I'll do this later today.
Good idea. Do that Regards Peder
