Yes. However, if we were to use C++ in the source code, I know of a few numbers of ways to make the exsting code far better :-) However, the idea is to have the *C* source code through a C++ compiler -- for a number of reasons, for starter using C++ in GCC is not on the table. (And the implicit conversion is still unable to catch the various wrong codes I repported earlier and the confusion about xcalloc). -- Gaby
