By making them all zero, it's probably even safe -- at least you won't be testing or setting an attribute which means something entirely different from your intended meaning. However, IMO that's a lazy hack -- it suggests that you aren't really thinking about *why* you specified those attributes in the first place, and what the implications are, when you port your code to a different OS. But, it's your code -- abuse it as you wish. Regards, Keith. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
