Depends on how you use them. Templates work by duplicating code. > what size are your executable compared to equivalent C stuff, Equivalent C code? For every template in C++ the equivalent code parametrised with macro expanion? About the same. > what speed do you loose by using C++ templates. Runtime speed? None. Templates are optimised for speed. In fact, one of the design goals of C++ is that all features must be implementable affordably (from a systems programming point of view). -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% Good Times are back again! http://www.iki.fi/gaia/zangelding/
