Hello list, I have some functions written in C that take a floating point argument, e.g.
void foos (float x); void food (double x); The function bodies are basically identical except of course for the different floating point types. In order to avoid having to write redundant code, I see 2 options: (1) I can use C++ and rewrite the function header as a template. (2) I can define a macro for the preprocessor that is either defined as "float" or "double" and then compile the function source twice, the first time with $CC -DFLOAT=float and the second time with $CC -DFLOAT=double. Is option (2) possible within automake without excessive hackery? Is it advisable? Is there a third option that I might want to consider? Thanks already for your opinions, nick
