yeah i'm dreaming, but i'd still like to see it happen. right now i have a
testfile from mozilla that won't build w/ dmc (or bcw).

this 'file' (it's actually the trimmed preprocessed output from ms cl for some
file in mozilla)

Walter, are the features used here things on your todolist?

-sc digital mars 8.0B2n (from CD)-

I've once thought about trying it, but I have been, short in time the last 5
years... <g>

using the preprocessor output from ms vc++ probably isn't a good idea - you
should have a look at nscore.h for some compiler capability defines:

In particular you should undef HAVE_CPP_MODERN_SPECIALIZE_TEMPLATE_SYNTAX,
HAVE_CPP_EXPLICIT, HAVE_CPP_TYPENAME (and probably others) for dm8.x.

I think just deleting "template <>" will be fine in this case (but the C++
capability defines should already take care of that).


bye, Christof
