Also not all such uses are guarded by the workarounds and I lack a dumb enough compiler to check their correct usage.Any thoughts? Richard.There are still a lot of gcc 2.95 and related compilers in use today. I prefer to leave them but let them rot unless there is a compelling reason to remove them now.
I see. I'd remove them only to unclutter the source and maybe increase maintainability if formally stating we require an ISO conformant compiler. Oh - we do so already:
<quote README> This version incorporates other minor source code changes to support compilation using g++ version 3.1 and some improvements to POOMA Fields. Compilation using g++ version 2.96 is no longer supported. g++ version 3.1 is freely available at http://gcc.gnu.org/. POOMA has also been tested using KAI C++ 4.0e. </quote> Richard.
