Is there some reason that egcs does not provide the file generic.h
or generic?  It comes with libg++-2.7.2 and I have an application
which uses it (Unidata's C++ netCDF library).

Thanks,
Kate

It isn't a standard header, so it wasn't in the libstdc++ part of libg++.
It's a clone of the hack that used to be in cfront before cfront had
templates; it is for making pseudo-templates with the preprocessor.
I think that it should be considered very obsolete.

There aren't any version dependencies, so you could use the generic.h
from the old libg++ with egcs.  It's just macros for gluing tokens
together.
