Not that the requironments are impossible to meet - Other programming languages can meet then (i.E: all Ada generics are "export" since 1983 and all Ada vendors where able to implent it). There is just no interest. The answer you got from Dima Sorkin shows it. No word about the standart - just "get the code fixed". Martin
Hi. In my message I just tried to understand whether the problem is simplier, and can be solved given the means. There is a huge interest. For example: when I first started using templates in some project, I used "export" and then (when first compiled) it came to me that it is not implemented :). I was very upset that I need to put templates in special headers, or to manage their instantiations by myself. I think the problem is much in the effort and the risk it involves, to implement such a features timely. Not much people are qualified enough and have time to advance the gcc itself. Regards, Dima.
