Re: [ECOS] _impure_ptr ??

[Bob Koninckx <bob.koninckx@mech.kuleuven.ac.be>]

This redefinition of __xca_pure_virtual seems to solve the problem. No
more link errors, application runs fins. Apparently, the compiler pulls
this function in as soon as you have at least one pure virtual function
in your application.

Problem is hereby signalled :-)
