We know that this kind of thing makes for lots of bugs, and I'm sure that a mission priority is having relatively few bugs. I think that maybe the SC needs to give an opinion, not on this extension, but on the overall goal of MSVC/CodeWarrior/... compatibility. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery, LLC mark@codesourcery.com (916) 791-8304
